I saw on Google that he had 3 children. Unless they were all childless, there should be grandkids and great-grandkids. There should be a whole army of relatives checking in on a frail old dad. That nobody heard from or about a 95-year-old Alzheimer patient raises gynormous questions about that whole family. This is not “we collectively” being unprepared. My mom is 71, has no signs of dementia, and has truly not been the easiest parent to deal with, and that’s a huge understatement. But the likelihood that I’d have no contact for a week and wouldn’t raise half of Montreal to find out what was happening is nil. So let’s cool it with “we collectively.” This is one of those situations where individual responsibility shouldn’t be outsourced to “society.”
Also, did Hackman’s wife have zero relatives or friends? Absolutely nobody on the planet? No club, no church, no friendly neighbor? In my experience, older people have many more friends than, say, the middle aged because they have a lot of time to cultivate friendships.
My point is not that there’s a conspiracy but that the cultural elites are morally bankrupt to the point a regular person can’t begin to comprehend.
