[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best friend’s dad didn’t show up to his law firm one morning and wasn’t answering the phone. Wife was out of town. His legal secretary of 20 years went to his house, car in the driveway, nobody answering the door. She called the police, they entered and he was dead from a heart attack. It is not unusual for coworkers to be concerned when something happens that is very out of character.[/quote]

Did the secretary in your story quickly drive over two hours round trip or was the boss's house just down the street? [b]It's very odd for anyone to drive that far[/b] basically immediately because someone didn't show up for work. People regularly get into car accidents and cell phones can die... but these colleagues IMMEDIATELY bee-lined to the house. It's weird.[/quote]

I don't think you understand Ohio or Ohioans - at least 9/10 people would do this.

I think it is odd to leave to check less than an hour after someone was expected at work. Maybe if the day wore on and no one heard from them and no one could reach them etc. But to assume something horrible had happened at their home and jump in your car to drive over an hour to check on them - leaving less than an hour after the practice opened - they had to know something else.

They made the call at 10:03 so you have to back up time for them to arrive, walk around, hear the kids, find a way to look in windows, then call 911 and get through etc. Maybe 5-10 minutes? According to google maps, to arrive at their address at 9:55 am, you would need to leave his workplace at 08:30. If the traffic was light, they may have driven faster, but still likely left at 8:45 at the latest. It is 75 miles and during a busy morning commute.[/quote]
