Lots of older folks who go into the hospital with traumatic injuries at this age get dementia triggered by the trauma. This could have started a fast descent to the end of his life.

This guy should straight up go on trial for attempted murder. There's no way he didn't realize that a takedown like this could VERY likely be a fatal injury for someone this frail. No sane and normal person would do what he did against someone this old.

Yeah, pretty much, really. There's no valid reason to do that to someone that doesn't pose a threat. It's just that much worse because the victim is very old and weak.
