just put him in a wheelchair and roll him around the neighborhood.

He was so old no one would know he was dead.

@GamingPalooza I think its possible because it sounds like the family was siphoning his pension money. It mentions something about the family and his pension towards the end.

This case is just a tip of an iceberg.

This is why Japanese people's life expectancy is the world's longest.
