At that age why was somebody not watching these two men. What a sad sad way to go.

Where was the family, why weren't they helping. This is bull.

And you know what is the full story is? if so why don't you share. Unless you get a court order even family members cannot force them to live in a safer enviroment. They may have been living just fine with daily supervision/assistance. But all it takes is for one small mistake when you get to that age. Sadly elderly wondering off is not limited to situations like this and can happen at facilities with 24 hr supervision and electronic monitoring.

Tammy, don't be sad, what better way for a man to go-just walking out into the night, embracing the land he loved and letting nature take its course.
