Why is it relevant that his pants were down? The story is sad enough as it is.

While it is tragic and sad, I DO think it is relevant – indicates that there may have been some sick kind of sexual assault either done to him or by him. So, it’s relevant. Terrible, but relevant.

I hear you, but the report said no signs of trauma. To me, a 95 year old with his pants down sounds like the result of confusion or necessity (bathroom). It just seems odd and disrespectful to the family. You’re right though, something could have happened that did not leave trauma.

Maybe he was out for a walk and had to relieve himself. I wouldn’t read into it too much.
