any update on what happened?
a few years ago, when I was a married, one of my hubbies good friends didn't live in Kentucky, but he had elderly parents right down the road from my house. My hubbie was playing golf one morning when his best friend called me. His mom had alzheimers and called him and said that something was really wrong with his dad that he hadn't eaten or gotten out of his recliner for 2 days. She said he might be having a heart attack. Now, the son didn't want to panic so he asked me to go over there and check on his dad. I call an ambulance b/c I thought "better safe than sorry." I get my ass in my car and fly over there thinking in my mind I might have to fling this guy out of the recliner on the ground and give him CPR until the ambulance arrives.
I get there and run in and the dude has been DEAD for over 48 hours! His skin was bubbling up in places and literally slipping off his body when you touched him. He had all these fluids coming out of his mouth. The stench was pretty thick. It was June or July (I can't really recall)
Poor lady was so stricken by dementia that she kept making him sandwiches and leaving them on the kitchen table and calling him to come and eat. It broke my heart.
When I realized the situation, I ran to get her to corral her in the kitchen so she wouldn't go back in the living room to see him like that. Only then did she realize from the look on my face that something was VERY WRONG. Poor, poor sweetie. She cried and cried.
When the paramedics arrived, I told them that they were over 48 hours too late...get the coroner.
I helped clean the stench and goo and threw the chair he died in away. I found over $20,000 in CASH in his desk (weird). No, I didn't steal it, although NO ONE would have ever known.
I let her stay at my house for a week while we made arrangements at a really posh (they were wealthy) assisted living alzheimers place.
