The sad rise of people's death only being discovered some time after they've passed away is yet one more indicator of the slow breakdown of society... isolated people, who no-one really knows well, disappear, dying at home, yet others fail to notice or wonder where they are.
The thing is we can all do something about this; check on an elderly neighbour & have a chat; quite apart from seeing if they're still breathing, evidence show social interaction will benefit them!
