This is the kind of world we're living in...where a WWII veteran, 93 yrs old, dies when the electric company cuts his power, so he froze to death. They say he owed more than $1000 in debt to the power company...however the only attempts to speak to him about it was a letter and a posted notice on his door.

After his death, a utility bill was found on his kitchen table along with "a large sum of money".
The poor ol' guy intended to pay the bill, but did not live long enough to do it. At 93 years old, I would imagine he might have needed some help.

I hate hearing about these kinds of things.
