Man home from hospice robbed just before he dies

FORT WORTH, Tex. - It's a crime police in Fort Worth, Texas are calling "the lowest of the lows."

Startled and scared, Suzy Alummuttil found a strange man in her home on Dec. 10. The 83-year-old was lying on a hospital bed in her living room. Next to her, her husband John who had just returned from hospice care.

"He saw it, but he could not talk," said Allummuttil.

She cried as she recounted how her dying husband watched as the man ransacked their home.

Surveillance video shows him pushing their door in, left open for the hospice nurse they were expecting.

The man searched the house until Alummuttil tried to call 911 and her son for help. She said the man walked over to her and tried to take the phone away, but she refused.

The intruder left with keys to a Chevy Silverado. He had driven the pickup truck away by the time Alummuttil's son arrived at the house. The son was panicked after getting the call from his mother.

"All I could hear was some sort of a struggle is what I can best explain it as," he explained.

He arrived to find them scared but not harmed. The day after the robbery, husband and father John Alummuttil died.

"It's also one of his last memories, assuming that he was not really cognizant. We had a hard week last week," the son said.

Unbelievably enough, the doorbell camera that caught the suspect's face was installed just two days before the robbery.
