What rotten luck. A woman whose family made their fortune in banking and copper mining, passes away. As a recluse in a old folks home, she decided to donate all of it to her nurses, doctors, employees and an art museum. Nineteen members of her family have decided to challenge that statement in a New York court of law. Really? Did you need the money that badly that you have to question someone's dying wishes to get money?
Anyhow, a public administrator stepped in on behalf on Timothy Henry Gray, who had not been in contact with the family for years. He was recently discovered dead underneath a highway overpass. Children sledding found him. Officially, he died of hypothermia and exposure, no poison or foul play on anyone's part. He was essentially homeless and no one knew about it. He was not using the money that he obviously had access to, his family suspects it was mental illness. If the family wins the settlement, they will get a rough estimate of nineteen million dollars. Divide that 20 ways and its a hefty sum of cash.
This is just bad luck and bad will all around. A family member dies and the family starts squabbling over money, that by rights should not be theirs. On top of that, they rediscover a homeless man who they are related to. How often does this kind of thing happen?
His family obviously was not very concerned about him if he was homeless without anyone's knowledge. It just go to show how shitty people are that this family let this man die without a care but as soon as money is involved, all the sudden he is family. They sure didn't show he was family before he died. I hope they are denied the money because it is obvious from this they have no care for him, really.
