Everybody dies sometime. This old man was in ill health, and old.
IMO the bailiff showed poor judgement in pursuing the debt from this confused old man (I know him by proxy- my wife nursed him) and poor judgement putting him in a car*.
The hospital (possibly) showed poor judgement releasing the man early. His family showed poor judgement leaving him alone. Those displays of poor judgement haven't media value, though.
I think everyone is overreacting to an extent. He allegedly did something wrong, the due process was followed, and it coincided with his death. Nobody likes speeding or parking fines, or bailiffs, but it's as likely that it was just his time to go as it was the events immediately before.
* I don't drive customers to locations for shooting as I'm not insured for it. The only time I've ever done it was last week, and it allowed a shoot to go on for an extra ½ hour, but once we were out of the shop we were friends not supplier/customer and so I was OK to drive her then- it wasn't for work.
