No one checking him in a proper way contributed to him dying because he could not look after himself.
You could give him a grand a week, it's not going to change the man and his mind state.
Where was his family? Friends. Did he have any.?
It's lazy to just say he died because he had no benefits. He died because he could not cope with anything and made it hard to help by refusing any that was offered.

So they sent a few letters, this chap needed a social worker to be assigned to him along with mental health services, someone to manage their finances, etc. You can't imagine how hard it is to get councils to commit these sort of resources, if you or someone else doesn't fight your corner you will get lost and this is the result.

There is only so much our society can do to ward off the underlying fact of life that is natural and by design, survival of the fittest.
We try hard and do well but you can't save them all and we try harder than a lot of countries.
You want to try being vulnerable in China for example?
