この事件が起きた秋田県の横手市は already winter already... snow is falling heavily, but still people are working under the roof with no proper gear... it's so sad to think about the elderly man who died from slipping on the snowy ground.
the police investigation is ongoing, I hope they can find out what caused the accident and make sure that something like this never happens again. winter can be harsh in Japan, but we should all take extra care of each other, especially the elderly people who need our help.
it's also a good opportunity to think about the importance of snow removal services for elderly people... they should have a system in place to help them with daily tasks like this... just a thought.
