Re: Pensioner dies at cash machine

This is a very unfortunate and sad situation. IMO this fella should never have been taken to a cash machine by the Bailiff. They could have easily made arrangments to call back for any monies due.
This was an elderly guy who wasnt in the best of health. If that bailiff had an ounce of decency, they could have contacted the fellas next of kin and had it sorted in no time. But instead they have chosen a route that makes them feel superior and sod the consequences.
If, as has been said "It was this fellas time to go" then maybe he could have passed away in his home surroundings had the Bailiff not hounded and pushed for an immediate payment. .
This isnt even a case of Jobsworth. Its a case of brownie points and nothing else. Would even guess that the said bailiff even put his foot in the front door as soon as the guy opened it.(which they are not allowed to do) But we,ll never know will we.
RIP "Owd fella"
