There is a message here for all of us with friends who are older or have heath issues.
Recently a pal, who has no internet and was always letting his cell phone go dead, was out of touch for 3 days. We talked every day. Got in the truck and went to his house. His dog was outside and barking up a storm. Nobody here locks doors, I went in and found him passed out in bed.
Called 911 and he was "life-flighted" to the hospital 80 miles away. He had advanced pneumonia (70 years old) and the Docs said in two days he would have died. Three weeks in hospital, three more with visiting nurse and he's OK.
When in doubt visit or call local authorities.
