The Limiter:
Schur owed Bay City Electric Light & Power more than $1,000 in unpaid electric bills, Bay City Manager Robert Belleman told The Associated Press on Monday.
A city utility worker had installed a "limiter" device to restrict the use of electricity at Schur's home on Jan. 13, said Belleman. The device limits power reaching a home and blows out like a fuse if consumption rises past a set level. Power is not restored until the device is reset.
I am not seeing how you can't figure out how this whole thing works and why you need such a detailed explanation as to how this killed him. It says right there in that passage, "It blows like a fuse." What happens when a fuse blows? NO POWER AT ALL.
It doesn't matter how much was getting to the home, the point IS...once the lights went out, everything else went down hill with it...including his life.
Michigan which one can guess at this time of the year is MUCH colder than say...Florida?
Anyone here from Michigan can give us an avg temp for this time of year?
Everything else is really simple.
The man owed on his bill and is 93 years old ...they put the limiter on and once the time passed...POOF NO POWER NO HEAT... once the power went out, it's almost easy to figure out that the temps quickly dropped in his home thereby killing him from hypothermia.

It's not that you don't know what particularly happened that bugs me; it's that you are condescending when you don't even grasp what's being asked.
