Our next-door neighbor, who was [livejournal.com profile] bethje's mom's cousin, died yesterday. We don't know exactly what happened, but he died entering his house, with the key in his hand. We're not sure how long it was before anyone found the body, and it was hours in between when someone discovered it and when it was finally taken away. It's really weird how sudden that was, and he was only 57 years old.

yikes! You're right, 57 is too damn young to drop dead. How upsetting.

I'm sorry; that sounds awful.

Thanks. Yeah, it was definitely unexpected. Even though we just recently learned that his part of the family had been keeping secret that he'd been receiving disability checks for years.

Yeah, it was really disturbing. Thanks.

I'm so sorry. What a terrible shock. Sounds like you knew him well? How are you and [livejournal.com profile] bethje feeling about it?

Thanks. I didn't know him all that well, but he was kind of a constant, you know? His mother actually died just a few years ago, so now nobody lives in that house anymore.

Yeah, I can imagine that, being a neighbor and a relative, that even if you weren't particularly close, his absence would be keenly felt. Again, my sympathies to you both...

Well, I obviously don't know the details on that, but I think that had more to do with him just looking to find money, since he never even looked for a job, after he was laid off 20+ years ago.

That's awful -- sorry to hear that...
