An elderly man of Castres, lost in the woods for 2 months

A poor man, poor in all senses, had problems with no money, so he left his flat and went into the woods. A man of 61with fragile health both mentally and physically. He managed to survive on brambles, apples and mushrooms living like a hermit of the woods. Eventually deep in the woods he was lost but happily found by a chasseur who was searching for his hunting dog.
The man is now being cared for in hospital and one hopes service sociale will take over and manage his care from now.
Val says  there are questions here about me calling a man elderly at 61! Depends which side of the spectrum you are coming from. Can we decide you have to be over 70 to be elderly. Tudor thinks 70, Malc thinks 80. There is of course a further age group of "old"
Middle age we have decided is 50 to 70 and anything below that you are a young whippersnapper.
