93-year-old froze
to death, owed big utility bill

BAY CITY, Mich. – A 93-year-old man froze to death inside his home just
days after the municipal power company restricted his use of electricity because
of unpaid bills, officials said.
Marvin E. Schur died "a slow, painful death," said Kanu Virani, Oakland
County's deputy chief medical examiner, who performed the autopsy.
Neighbors discovered Schur's body on Jan. 17. They said the indoor temperature
was below 32 degrees at the time, The Bay City Times reported Monday.
"Hypothermia shuts the whole system down, slowly," Virani said. "It's
not easy to die from hypothermia without first realizing your fingers and toes
feel like they're burning."
Schur owed Bay City Electric Light & Power more than $1,000 in unpaid electric
bills, Bay City Manager Robert Belleman told The Associated Press on Monday.
