Yes, I feel bad for the guy, but couldn't he have found a way to pay the bill? Heating program, some charity place pay it? Get a letter from his doctor saying because of his health he needs the electric on? $1,000 is an awful lot of unpaid money. That isn't one or two monthly bills not paid. If they limited it though couldn't he have gone to his breaker and turned everything off buy the kitchen and the heater? He could have even turned off the heater and gone out and bought an electric blanket or an electric heater.
Also, they said that the electric company polices were going to be looked at, but that they did nothing wrong.
Quoting: Inspiringmind Your suggestions are rather complicated for a 93 year old. He may have had Alzheimer's or short term memory loss making it impossible for him to be cognizant to the extreme danger he was in or with the inability to know what to do. The extreme cold was enough to incapacitate him to get the immediate life saving help he needed.
