Hmmm. The sparkling old dude, who's far from young, is apparently alive and kicking, although it's been a while since he was hanging out with the primitives on Skins's island.
He'd been gone for so long I figured his much-younger trophy wife had gotten him committed to a nursing home, and having power of attorney, had vacuumed out all his bank and stock accounts.
It was obvious she'd married him only for his money, and assuming he was destined to die soon from old age, leaving her a rich widow. But as he tenaciously hung on, she got impatient and used other means.
