NEW YORK (AP) — Four elderly people were found dead in a home Friday in an apparent carbon monoxide poisoning after a car was left running in an attached garage, police said.
The victims were 83-year-old Jerry Hugel, his wife, 80-year-old Marie Hugel, 70-year-old Gloria Greco and 76-year-old Walter Vonthadden, police said. The bodies were discovered when a relative of the Hugels went to check on them because they hadn't answered the phone at their Queens home. Jerry Hugel was found next to a running car in the garage.
Neighbors lined the streets and sidewalks in the suburban Floral Park neighborhood next to Long Island's Nassau County. Some cried as police officers and firefighters walked around the Cape Cod-style, two-story home.
"They were wonderful people," Helga Harter, a neighbor who had known the couple for decades, said through tears as she stood on a street corner, looking at the home. "They were married for 60 years."

Very revealing post, father founding.
Too many elderly people have fallen prey to poor economic circumstances and in desperation, attempt (and sometimes succeed) suicide.
Then again, America has been a country for the young people and in a lot of cases, old people are forgotten, neglected and ignored. In Asia, old people are revered for their experience and wisdom - although that is also changing due to the influx of American culture.
Many young people seem to think that old people are just obstacles in their ability to enjoy the inheritance fully. I wanted to slap a young son of one of my patients who had no shame to say, "I hope she dies before all the inheritance is spent on medical care."
On Edit: 
for the deceased.
such a sad story...
