He lived to 95. It's absurd to say he wasn't getting the health care he needed when in actuality his wife clearly did something right during their years of marriage considering his advanced age.
I disagree. Didn’t the autopsy reveal that he was in very poor health? Heart trouble, advanced Alzheimer’s? Moreover, wasn’t he left alone while she ran errands? Wasn’t he found with an empty stomach? Didn’t he have a pacemaker? How do you call this good health?
The doctors said that he was in very poor health at death.
And it was due to his being left alone that he died.
I think you think that living to the age of 95 meant that he did something right health wise. He may have just had great genetics, or God wasn’t ready for him to go yet.
Look at Jimmy Carter. He lived to 100. Others live past that. And some totally healthy people may succumb to death at an early age. It doesn’t mean that they didn’t live right or wasn’t getting the best health care.
He was found with an empty stomach (if that’s true) bechzse his wife and caretaker died like a week before him! She must have been taking pretty good care of him if he was doing well and then after she died, he died pretty quickly because she’s stopped caring for him.
DP. She had him living in a rodent filled house with no interaction with the outside world completely isolated and dependent on her. At 80 million net worth there’s no reason she couldn’t have hired an exterminator and a housekeeper. But seems that it blew up in her face.
This doesn't seem to be the situation at all. There are at least 3 different times he was seen out in the summer of 2024, including attending a public event. There is no evidence they lived in a rodent filled house. He as dependent on her as many very elderly people are dependent on their spouses. He may have still been able to do quite a bit of basic adls on this own and just needed her assistance. He had advancing dementia but we don't know what stage it was in or when it worsened. He wasn't close with his kids but they weren't estranged and were in contact on an irregular basis. His granddaughter was included in the family statement so clearly she knew him.
New Mexico officials publicly stated the main house was clean, that rodent evidence was found in other buildings on the property. She cleaned the house herself, nothing wrong with that. Evidence also suggests she took excellent care of him until this unexpected tragedy. But PP has a narrative and is sticking to it!
It's probably one of his kids.
Whatever. I double down on the fact that there were mice in the house. She didn’t go to the woods to fetch logs or even better, go to an abandoned barn on the property (no barn exists). The main house was over 8,000 square feet! One or more of those rooms had a few mice. End of story because it doesn’t take much for the poop to be everywhere.
Just because she swept it up or vacuumed it up doesn’t mean it didn’t exist!!
Or according to you, the Hantavirus mysteriously appeared from out of nowhere and infected her…
Or the invisible pile of wood on the property (that no one else saw because it wasn’t there)?was full of mice and disease, and she touched it somehow (though it did not exist)
Or better yet, the diseased mice only stayed at the far end of the property at all times. They never ventured beyond it, even with a door to the house open all hours of the day. They just stayed on their side of the property forever and she just mysteriously caught the Hantavirus from unknown mice sources (though investigators found poop and other evidence of mouse activity in other buildings on the compound)
They had mice in the house. Case closed.

I bet you gene had insurance and probably had a policy that paid for part of all assistance. She didn’t want to use it. Surprised though, and I mean really surprised, that his doctor did not do more for him. If his heart was that bad, how often did he get check ups? If his dementia was that bad, how often did they reach out to doctors?
Both of my parents had access to resources and were given guidance. She didn’t not seek or want this for a 95 year old man.
You're not talking about people who couldn't get care without insurance. They were rich. Presumably they had whatever care they wanted and thought was needed.

Are you blaming the wife for not feeding him when she'd already been dead for a week?
Yep, though you are twisting my words.
He obviously could not feed himself. Do you think that she knew that? Yet still ran errands away from the home and left him there by himself. She was his caregiver and had no plan b should anything happen to her or any delay with her returning.
That’s not right. It’s a certain degree of negligence or neglect.
As I shared, both of my parents had advanced Alzheimer’s. Eating, restroom function, bathing—those and functions decline over time. With one parent it was rapid. With the other, it happened over a few years.
He was totally dependent on her like a baby to a parent. If that parent dies, then the baby is without a provider.
It’s as simple as that. As a few of us have shared, he needed someone else watching out for him also. I am positive that a doctor would have recommended that. Under insurance, he could have had help paid for, given his condition.
She didn’t want this. And like it or not, she never expected a time where she could not provide and he would be alone. In her position of authority, she had options but ignored him. So yeah, she is responsible for his condition, else he would have had someone there who could have helped him and fed him.
I'm sorry about what happened with your parents but this take is insane. I guess good for you if it makes you feel better to blame the woman for not having predicted that at age 65, she'd be the one to go first of an incredibly rare condition.
You don't know what levels of care were in place for when she ran errands. You have no idea. And you have no idea if for 15 years he'd been just fine sitting in a chair for an hour while she got meds for their dogs. And anyway he didn't die because she was at CVS! He died because she died! Of an incredibly rare disease that she didn't know she had!!
I don't think paying for care was the issue. He had $80 million or whatever. It seems like it was just a string of very unlucky things.

I clean my own house too and am older than she; it's not money it's privacy and the transactions involved getting someone, having them around, etc.
As for empty stomach, that is not the same as starved to death. He may have been able to eat stuff they had.

Pp again. Hate to say this, but she assumed that she, being younger, would outlive him.
She didn’t. He had no one there for him.

Memory care facilities are expensive, but help you gain your life back.
He lived to 95. It's absurd to say he wasn't getting the health care he needed when in actuality his wife clearly did something right during their years of marriage considering his advanced age.
I disagree. Didn’t the autopsy reveal that he was in very poor health? Heart trouble, advanced Alzheimer’s? Moreover, wasn’t he left alone while she ran errands? Wasn’t he found with an empty stomach? Didn’t he have a pacemaker? How do you call this good health?
The doctors said that he was in very poor health at death.
And it was due to his being left alone that he died.
I think you think that living to the age of 95 meant that he did something right health wise. He may have just had great genetics, or God wasn’t ready for him to go yet.
Look at Jimmy Carter. He lived to 100. Others live past that. And some totally healthy people may succumb to death at an early age. It doesn’t mean that they didn’t live right or wasn’t getting the best health care.
He was found with an empty stomach (if that’s true) bechzse his wife and caretaker died like a week before him! She must have been taking pretty good care of him if he was doing well and then after she died, he died pretty quickly because she’s stopped caring for him.
DP. She had him living in a rodent filled house with no interaction with the outside world completely isolated and dependent on her. At 80 million net worth there’s no reason she couldn’t have hired an exterminator and a housekeeper. But seems that it blew up in her face.
