OK, I'll admit it, my typing is atrocious. I try to catch the typos 
but don't always sucede (sic).

You are probably right about the lawsuite. Once upon a time long 
long ago when people came to the end of the life cycle that was 
perceived as the natural end to a life well lived. Today if some 200 
year olf woman with five major organ systems in acute failure kicks 
the bucket, the family already has a lawyer lined up. There an 
incident here a few years ago in whicht he city got sued because some 
elderly lady died and the family decided the paramedics did not come 
fast enough. They went public with the statement that they expected 
to get very, very rich off the suit. But they underestimated the 
ability of the pathologist to pinpoint the time of death. The lady 
had already been dead for an extended time before they called 911. 
Unless they were mentally challenged to the extent that they could 
not distinguish a rotting corpse from a living human being, one might 
cynically suspect fraud here. They had to shop around for someone 
else to sue.
