(Some of them died along the way, but that's just Darwinian selection.)
Yes but they didn't have adult children with lawyers to preserve their inheritance while looking for someone to pay for mom's/pop's nursing home/EOL care. It's the perfect scenario: let mom enjoy the fresh air until she lands face down or impaled on those sharp edges. The kids don't suffer yet cash the checks (just in time to pay for that retirement condo in Miami). It's a planned strategy.
