93 Year Old WWII Vet Freezes to Death at Home...

I'm sure I read earlier that his wife had died and they had had no children.
So the closest relatives are likely to be nieces/ nephews, who would likely be 60+ themselves, more likely older. And if either or both were an only child (less common 93 years ago of course) they may not even have had that.

It's a horrible thing to have happened, but given that he is supposed to have left a wad of cash out ready to pay the bill it seems just an unhappy chain of events.
