A World War II veteran who froze to death last month in his Michigan home has left his entire estate — believed to be worth at least $500,000 — to a local hospital, according to CNN.
Martin Schur, 93, of Bay City, died after a local utility company shut off his power because he owed it about $1,000. Mr. Schur, a widower known in his family for his frugality, told relatives two years ago that he had saved up more than $500,000 over the years, though his lawyer would not disclose the exact amount of the estate or how much would be going to Bay Regional Medical Center.
