Family members trying to save a buck and/or get rid of a lingering problem. This reminds me of a situation several years ago where a family did this with a mentally unfiit woman ( I want to say it was a US flight out of or into PHX). There was an episode and she actually ended up dying. Then the family came out afterwards and sued because, of course, the airline should have known better and handled her more compassionately, or whatever. I also want to say they were the ones who bought her the ticket and took her to the airport.
