The urge to lock yourself away and obsess over a game for days on end apparently doesn't fade with age. A 91-year-old Ohio woman was recently surprised by a visit from police during an extended gaming session, which had apparently been so absorbing that she'd missed check-in calls and alarmed welfare agents.
As News 5 Cleveland reports, the unnamed Westlake, Ohio woman is part of the city's "Are You Okay?" police program. Members of the program receive daily calls to confirm their wellbeing – a godsend for elderly or disabled people living alone, for instance.
