The last line sums everything up.
If there were no visible signs of distress and he didn't check in... can we blame the hospital in this case? Do we start requiring everyone coming through the door to state their purpose of visitation? Emergency rooms always have family and/or friends present as well.

They said on the news that he was a frequent visitor to the ER. You'd think they'd have someone checking out the people in the room to see if they are okay and if they need help. 36 hours and nobody notices him? Find that hard to believe. Knowing he was a regular they probably ignored him.
Of course the hospital and staff will not be found at fault. Still it's sad that someone has to die before any possibles changes are looked at or implimented.
