2/10/14 - A sad story out of Brighton Township over the weekend. The Livingston County Sheriffâs Department reports that 73-year-old Rindle Meredith was discovered frozen to death outside of his Bendix Road home at around 6pm Saturday evening, with his elderly Collie beside him. Sheriff Bob Bezotte tells WHMI Meredith was wearing pajamas and it appears he slipped and fell while trying to lift his elderly dog up the stairs, and had probably tried to let his dog out one last time before going to bed Friday. Bezotte estimates Meredith was outside in the cold for 16 to 20 hours before being found by his son-in law. He added that family members had been checking up on Meredith regularly and due to the distance between homes in that area of Bendix, neighbors would not have easily noticed or heard him. (JM)
