Some calls stop time

My heart is broken.

A cousin called today, my uncle was found dead in bed.
 A neighbor called the police to do a welfare check.

I called the police, they think he probably died up to two days ago. 
I know I sent him a text on Saturday, and he did not answer. 
He always answered.

One of the neighbors called my uncle’s sister and said she thought she saw him mowing today, but I don't think they would do a welfare check if he was seen today. 
More likely, he passed in his sleep Friday-early Saturday.

Out of my grandmother's four children, only one remains.

My cousin said my aunt is not doing well. 
She just had heart surgery last year. 
They're afraid she'll have another heart attack or stroke-and she's had both. 
They say she keeps crying that she's all alone now.

We'll go up tomorrow, see what needs doing. 
Aunt is next of kin, so I can't do anything legally.
