(Please read my notes on this video) Behind the Investigation: ‘Starved’ man returned to family in wake of ma...

I do agree that everyone should have arrangements for what you want done if you become incapacitated.... I have seen it happen to many young people from things like car accidents and other medical situations, then families fight often about choices they want done and property. Your doctor can help you with that paperwork, and so can your bank for free.

I have some problems with this story though,

1) That medical sheet of paper says he was incapacitated for a specific time period, it is a medical form for an injury or something that happened to him, and it also says he can return to work pending the report once completed. That has nothing to do with his mental abilities.

2) The amount of money he is getting, $33,000 is not enough to live on in most areas of the USA, let alone buy a house and car. The wife is not living on his money.

3) If he is on Hospice care, then he is declared to have a terminal illness and only has 6 months or less to live, that is a requirement of Hospice.

4) If she has him in a facility, then someone has to pay for that, either her, or the government, and he does not qualify for government money until she only has less than a certain amount in her accounts (including his money).

5) Losing weight is almost inevitable with people with dementia because they use a lot of calories, more than an average person, with their thought processes. And.... many have other problems which don't let the body absorb nutrients.

6) I don't know the reasons she had him in a facility, but that means she is caring for him, in a place where he has 24/7 care.

7) Bladder infections are very common in elderly, sometimes they are non-treatable.

8) The family seems very unrealistic about what Hospice care means; do they want his money? What is their background?

9) There is no evidence that he was mentally incapacitated when they got married. While it is illegal for an incapacitated person to enter into a legally binding contract, there is just simply no evidence to prove that was the case with him in this situation.

10) Talking through a door does not mean she is doing anything wrong; the reporter should not even be bothering her; I would tell him to get off of my property before calling the police for harassment.
