After his wife passed away several years ago, the children moved elsewhere, and the man had been living alone.
Police believe the man lost his balance while putting on his trousers, slipped, and hit his head against the bed.
The impact caused heavy bleeding, and he was unable to seek help before succumbing to his injuries.
Family raised alarm after calls went unanswered
Concern arose when his adopted child tried to call him but received no response even after multiple attempts.
They later went to the house to check on him and noticed blood leaking out from the doorway, prompting them to immediately notify the authorities.
