I work in law enforcement and at least every day we have somewhere in western and southwestern sydney someone who has died at home alone. Sometimes its days or even worse weeks/months before a neighbour raises the alarm, due to mail build up, lawns not mown or a bad smell.

I know that I can go for several weeks without seeing a neighbour, but how do you force someone who does not want to interact - interact.

As far as FT etc - it would be nice to have some way to notify, as its a friendship that counts.

My Dad recently died, and we got feedback from the strangest places and people, about how much they enjoyed talking to him and what a nice man he was. Which was interesting as many people had the opposite to say about him too. So it was nice to know that in recent years he had mellowed and the people he came into contact with in the last 12 years of his life had a different view.

Not sure what the answer is?

Maybe the combined wisdom of the forum will produce something.
