We recently found out that my deceased aunt’s ex-boyfriend is selling the house that she bought.
The two met in the late-2010’s, living together in the first house that she had already bought from 2017-2020. She proceeded to buy a bigger house in late-2020 which she put his name as a 50/50 owner. She was the breadwinner as she worked in the medical field and was older by almost 20 years. He was just a mechanic at Chevy. She would die in that house on December 31, 2021.
When I say that he let her die let me describe the facts from HIS account of events: he arrived at home around 4-4:30 pm and found her unconscious in the bathroom in a pool of vomit. He says he dragged her to the living room and “monitored her” and when she stopped breathing around 6 pm, he began to perform CPR and called EMS. He called us around 6:30 pm and said they were on their way to the hospital because he found her unconscious \[we assumed that he just found her passed out\]. When we asked him why he didn’t call EMS sooner, he said “I thought she was sleeping”. She doesn’t drink, she doesn’t use drugs. Her autopsy was clean.
After arriving at the hospital we found out that she suffered a brain aneurism. From many medical professionals and other people we know who had suffered from brain aneurisms, if she has received immediate proper medical care she may have survived.
There’s a suspicion that he wasn’t motivated to save her because he was (1) the beneficiary to her life insurance policy in the amount of $1.25 million, (2) a 50/50 owner in the $500K home, (3) a 50/50 owner in a corvette and ATVs.
He had no legal obligation to save her and to render aid, but the math is not adding up. Why would anyone watch their SO for an hour and half after finding them passed out before calling EMS? Answer: they wouldn’t. He let her die.
