What they said on the local news about the limiter is that it is supposed to allow enough electricity to be used to keep the heat, refrigerator and stove going. I'm not sure how they determine how much that takes, especially since during that time period, our night time lows were -5 or so with day time highs of 8. My furnace ran continuously to keep the house at 68 during that time period. It was bitter bitter cold. Over 400 school districts in the Detroit area had school cancelled for a "cold" day the day before this guy was found. Bay City is about 150 miles north of Detroit, where it was even colder.
ETA: Since he had no kids and was 93 years old, there's a good chance there was no family at all.
