He wasn't extremely old, in his 60's, but disabled with severe RA. Met a younger woman who seemed really great, they married quickly, she cleaned out a lot of his accounts through lavish spending, gifting to relatives, etc. when the money was gone, she left. And he had no real recourse, he gave her signatory power on his bank accts and they were married. He died about a year and a half later.
