Subject: Michigan man freezes to death after electric company cuts power
In this case the risk appears to be the assumption that anyone who wishes to pay their electric bill can do so easily. The 93-year-old WWII veteran may not have had a checking account, a computer, or online bill paying, and the weather was too severe for him to leave home to pay his electric bill in person. After his death, a large amount of cash was found clipped to his utility bill on his kitchen table.
