139. I live next door to a couple in their nineties.

They're much more robust than that man. The wife still works. Not every man in his nineties is frail and hunched. You should go to northern Maine sometime--you'd be stunned at how vigorous the elderly are there--they just don't retire.

For all you know, maybe he is a Charles Eugster: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/elderhealth/9891143/Charles-Eugster-Its-pure-vanity.-My-body-was-a-mess.html

The "after action report" would have been written BEFORE the guy died, so why would there be a need for anyone to lie? The man's death was not contemporaneous with the incident, you know. He was conversing when he was taken to hospital. No one would have been "alarmed" or had a need to cover anything up--the situation was resolved using "non lethal force." The guy died many hours later.

You are not, apparently, familiar with assisted living facilities. I am. They are nothing like "nursing homes" which are set out like hospital rooms, often two to a room, and institutional. Assisted Living facilities are homey, they feature apartment living, and they aren't "institutional." They usually encompass a full range of services, from Alzheimer's wings where access is limited, to hospice care, to independent apartment living, to anything in between those things. They have on site conveniences, like hair stylists and people who will give them manicures and pedicures and massages. They have social events, they go on outings. I pick up people at those things all the time, to take them to doctor's appointments and to vote.
