Elderly man gets rescued from his Virginia home after five days

Tweet

It is a shame that some elderly people do not have a caretaker to watch over them when they are by themselves inside a home. Glenn Smith whose age was not released was inside his home in Arlington Virginia last month when he suffered a fall inside his kitchen and due to his falling health, he could not get up. However Glenn was able to drink Coca Cola that was within his reach for a period of five days before a postal carrier contacted Glenn's neighbor to contact the police to find out what was happening inside the Smith home since the mail started to pile up outside his home. The Arlington police then arrived and went inside the Smith home to find Glenn on the floor injured from his fall. The police then contacted the Arlington Fire Department to transport Glenn to the Virginia Hospital Center where is in stable condition. My respects go to the postal carrier, the neighbor who contacted the police to assist Glenn in his time of need. Maybe Glenn could not afford to have one of those life alert products that are seen on television ads.
