Elderly Man dies after trying to stop human from Stealing

[Worthless Loser]

Let me guess……Home Depot not paying those funeral bills huh?

They might have to.

Benefits in death claims, as in other workers’ comp claims in North Carolina, are generally paid weekly. The amount of the weekly death benefit is two-thirds of the deceased employee’s Average Weekly Wage. Burial expenses are paid up to $10,000.

Death benefits in NC workers’ comp are payable for a minimum of 500 weeks. A minor child receives benefits until the age of 18, even if that is more than 500 weeks. A deceased employee’s widow or widower who is disabled at the time of the worker’s death receives benefits until his or her death or remarriage, but not less than 500 weeks. When the beneficiary of a death claim is a minor or is incompetent the Industrial Commission will appoint a guardian ad litem to represent the child’s interest.

O Had the guy been successful at stopping him, Home Depot would've fired him.

Exactly. I had a friend try to save someone stuck in an elevator at a building he worked at. He slightly damaged the door trying to pull it up and got fired lol

RIP to Pops, Died for nothing

Damn now this guy has a homicide case and they really are going to try to find him. Most likely died from a broken hip. A hip fracture in the elderly is dangerous

Yeah I think complications with blood clots particularly iirc

Callous disregard for life. Throw him away

Some of these workers have Stockholm syndrome and don’t even realize it

So trying to stop ratchets from fukking with your place of employment is selling out now

You robbing my work site stop trying to pretend like you're my brother. You sure as shyt aren't paying my rent when they close the location because of the high loss rate.

Yeah but most all of these places stress to their people to not try and do exactly what the old man did.

I was in Lowes and overhead a store meeting while waiting in line and they said verbatim, do not try and apprehend anyone doing what the guy did.

Ask for a receipt to verify but never get in their way.

Sucks but this looks like a person doing way too much and now he's dead and it's partially his fault.
Should've stayed in his booth and tried to identify a license plate and car color.

The thief is more responsible of course but the old man effed around and found out.
That hero complex/main character syndrome thing is heavy with the pinkies.

it's crazy how people are willing to throw their freedom away over something so little.

 

[Estarossa]

Imagine getting murdered for asking to see a receipt…

 

[Kamikaze Revy]

That was shockingly sadder to me than I anticipated.
To live that long and THAT be the end of your story. Wow.
And he probably has a family that will be haunted by seeing their dad/granddad/uncle killed in such a senseless way.
Crazy how fragile the elderly can get. That fall doesn't look fatal at all.

Pops should've hit the gym

I never said anything about a sell out okay. Doing a high risk task that’s not even yours or expected of you and would get you in big trouble even if you save the day. Is someone who has been condition to be slave for the company.
