Jesus, that is terrible

It's how a lot of people end up going at that age, even more so if they're not in a care home.

For real ?!

Risk for fall are definitely one of highest incidence of hospitalizations for the elderly

[–] GiantBonsai@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This really is detail that none of us need to know.

[–] OllieStavsToothgap@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Feel like this should not be in the news

[–] markthedutchman@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I feel he and his family deserved privacy on such a matter..

[–] Wide-Company-3543@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Scumbag journalists, he's dead , we don't need every detail. His family almost definitely don't want this shared but some bellend at goal got a scoop so can't help himself

I feel like this wasn't necessary for the media release.

[–] DepletedMitochondria@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Ah, that's so sad, especially for his family. Elder care is such an important part of society.

The mortality rate is a shocking 30% for the elderly one year after a fall.

It’s so sad to read this, but I guess that’s where we’re all heading if we make old age.

[–] Fuck_your_future_@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I’d rather die from a fall than an extended illness… RIP Bobby you old bastard. Xx

[–] Thepeopleof124@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This is awful, I thought he had died of natural causes. Rest in peace, Bobby Charlton. ❤️
