Overseas Network, March 9thAccording to comprehensive reports from NBC and CBS, on March 6 local time, a 93-year-old elderly man living alone in Los Angeles, California, died trapped at home due to a snowstorm.
The family of the elderly Eleanor living alone said that they had called the local county emergency service office and asked them to check on Eleanor’s situation and provide help when Eleanor needed it, but no one came to help. The family said: “We have not yet received the coroner’s report but our guess is that Eleanor was left in the cold for prolonged periods of time and lacked food.
Hundreds of residents in East Los Angeles were stuck in their homes for nearly two weeks, reports said.Eleanor’s neighbor Terry said in an interview on the 8th that she has been trapped by heavy snow for 14 days. She suffers from heart disease and the life-saving medicine will run out on the 10th. Her husband, who has severe arthritis in his back, was unable to clear snow from the front of the house. “It’s a horrible situation and we can’t open the door because the snow is so high,” Terry said.
Terry said he called the emergency hotline at least six times for help. She also called 911, but no one responded. “We prepared enough food for two weeks, but we didn’t expect it would take so long to clear the snow. The local government had enough time to prepare, but they didn’t do anything.” (Chen Qingyang, an intern at Haiwai.com Li Fang)
