80yo BACHELOR DIED ALONE INSIDE HIS ABANDONED HOUSE AND LEFT EVERYTHING BEHIND

[@WyboGamErs]

It’s so sad to see a person’s home like this when they have passed away, it’s like their life meant nothing

[@myowndrum286]

Damn sad, isn't it? However, you can take nothing with you when you're called home. I had a very wealthy friend who passed some years ago. Someone at the service for him asked me "How much did he leave?" I replied, 'Everything! You take nothing with you" The material world is immaterial when you leave this plane.

[@stephanieann1213]

Wouldn’t it be terrible to look down upon your home soon after your passing and see that someone had done just this to your home? You can’t take it with you, but there’s no reason to destroy something like this 😢😭💔 there’s many people in need of a home smh.

How heartbreaking that Gerrys home has been trashed like that. There is such a warm, calm, loving vibe to this house. Imagine his son returning and seeing the house he grew up in being so damaged and empty of his parents now. Maybe he did and was too grief stricken to do anything about it after vandals have been in. Once a home is violated like that it can’t ever be the same. Loved this explore. Thanks Adam 👏👏🖤🖤

[@e-moshe]

I do think either the son has passed through there or another thoughtful Urbex person/relative has been. There are indications that things like books are nearly stacked in front of sprayed graffiti or photos, like next to the bed, were placed under objects to prevent them from being blown away. It suggests a good visitor at least.

[@leonamcginnis]

I totally agree with everything that Caroline Howard said in her comment. In it's day I truly believe that the home actually smiled when visitors came to visit and it stayed warm and loving for Jerry until his last days. I really get disgusted when I see the graffiti that ignorant, destructive people do to abandoned homes like this one. I felt a smile from the living room area when we went into it, like a welcoming feeling. I imagined what it would've been like living there before the deaths and destruction happened. I would've been just fine living in the countryside like that is. Thank you Adam for sharing this video with us.

[@garyjohnson4608]

With his son moved away and his wife deceased, he must have felt so terribly alone that he died from a broken heart.

[@seannefortier5916]

All of our collective history has been smashed up and ripped apart.

[@sarahstrong7174]

The son is quite likely dead as attempts will have been made to trace him. The government arrange for people to try to trace property owners & take the costs of doing so out of the inheritance. If he was around he would be aware that he probably would inherit the house.

[@sarahstrong7174]

It is not weird for the fridge not to smell if it was cleared out properly when Gerald left.

[@sarahstrong7174]

Gerald probably took clothes to the nursing home & quite possibly his tv. The single bed may have been for a carer.

[@Soralella71]

Thank you for this beautiful video. I don't understand why a house remains unclaimed and abandoned. It gives me great sadness to see the house of someone who basically died alone, most probably because that's how I will die. I have no family, no husband, no children and no friends. I will make a Will to make sure when I die my house will go to charity (animal shelters). It feels strange that one day someone will clean/empty my house and throw away all my photos (I wonder what they'll say when they'll find the photos of me at metal concerts) and all my beautiful mother's photos, I cherish them so much, that's all I have left about her.

Lovely little cottage tucked away. Interesting there were no family photos displayed anywhere, meaning, framed and on a desk or wall. The poodle had two spots! Maybe that decayed framed photo was the son. And why were there only photos of him as a young boy? I get the impression Gerry and son weren't close. He did keep his wife's sewing kit out, did not want that put away. Some folks are big on photos, and I think Gerry was into photography but it was all about keeping t hose memories on slides. This was a nice tour Adam, and a pox on those thugs who spray painted the property.

I think some kids were thrown into boarding schools so have a different kind of attitude or if single children they can have a different attitude to parents. Got the feeling the son would be quite elderly too by now if still alive.

[@JJ-iq8mi]

You're assuming these people were nice parents. Maybe they weren't. I work in an old people's home and regularly meet elderly folk whose grown-up children don't visit...and with good reason. I've also know elderly people who have outlived their children or whose children have emigrated. Maybe their child is well-off and didn't need the bother of sorting his inheritance. Maybe he's a drunk. There are thousands of reasons.

It was her way and her last say as she died on that day on purpose. We all thought it was funny and when he got asked if he enjoyed his birthday he replied "How can I now my mum passed away on the same day!" Serves him right ha ha nice one mum lol.
