THIS GUY SURVIVED WW1 WITH HITLER, BUT DIDNT SURVIVE A POWER COMPANY???
93-year-old US man froze to death indoors!!!BAY CITY, Michigan:
A 93-year-old man froze to death inside his home, an autopsy has
determined, just days after the city limited his flow of electricity
for not paying his bills.
Marvin E. Schur died "a slow, painful death," said Kanu Virani,
Oakland County's deputy chief medical examiner, who performed
Schur's autopsy.
Neighbors discovered Schur's body on Jan. 17. The indoor temperature
was below 32 degrees (0 Celsius) at the time, the neighbors told The
Bay City Times for a story Monday.
Schur had no children, and his wife passed away several years ago.
The man had almost $1,100 in unpaid electric bills, said neighbor George Pauwels Jr., who discovered Schur's body. The utility installed a "limiter" device outside Schur's home on Jan.
13, said Bay City Manager Robert Belleman. The device limits
electricity flow to the home and blows out like a fuse if more than
allowed is drained. Belleman said he doesn't know if anyone talked to
Schur to explain how to reset the device to restore power.

I live in Mi also and seen the report on the news...it is very sad. The report said he died of hypothermia.It is unfortunate that he has no family to hold the company accountable for this,as i am sure the state will not, but i am sure they will not allow companys to use this device in winter months for fear of this happening again.If it does both state and electric comapnies will be accountable.
