[quote:Anonymous Coward 601518:MV83MTQwNzVfMTA5NDUxNTlfMjg0NjZFQ0Y=] A letter I sent to the mayor Dear Mayor, Look I don't usually write emails to mayors or anyone for that matter that isn't a friend or relative - BUT I HAD to write to you regarding the murder of that 93 year old man who froze to death because his electricity was turned off!!!!! I want this investigated, stopped, others spared the same stupid fate in your backward little city that kills people instead of helping them. What if that was your grandfather, father, brother uncle! Heads MUST roll for this MUST!!!!! This is absolutely the most horrendous, awful thing I have read about the degredation of our country that I have heard since Bush lied us into war!!!!! Shame shame shame on all those responsible and all those accomplices, and complacents that allowed this to happen to a 93 year old grandfather!!! A public apology is DEMANDED! Not for me - but for our collective soul that has been slapped in the face by this inhumanity done to a fellow human being! -ac and for those of you who think it wasn't their fault - I am sorry but ANYONE WHO LIVES IN -30 TEMPERATURES KNOWS THAT SHUTTING OFF A PERSONS SOURCE OF HEAT IS A DEATH SENTENCE!!!!! A 93 YEAR OLD DUDE! we actually ARE our brothers keepers!!!!! SO YES, IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CARE! [/quote]
Original Message
BAY CITY, Mich. - A 93-year-old man froze to death inside his home just days after the municipal power company restricted his use of electricity because of unpaid bills, officials said.
Marvin E. Schur died "a slow, painful death," said Kanu Virani, Oakland County's deputy chief medical examiner, who performed the autopsy.
Neighbors discovered Schur's body on Jan. 17. They said the indoor temperature was below 32 degrees at the time, The Bay City Times reported Monday. [
