Where was the man's family? Did his kids or grandkids ever check on him?
And I am NOT defending the power company. But if the bill is past due and there is no response to their collections letters, they are going to shut off the power/heat. They didn't set it at 32 degrees. That is how cold it got in the man's house when the heat had been off for a period of time. Seriously, if you think about it how did the power company know this was a 92 year old man? How did they know he would freeze to death if no one ever told them?
I am very saddened by what happened to this man and it could have been prevented if just one person took the time to care.
