   A US family has demanded an investigation after its patriarch reportedly   
   died within days of having a stroke in his home and being found but left   
   on the floor by a real estate agent who never called anyone for help.   
      
   Loved ones of the dead man – 69-year-old Randy Vaughan of North Carolina –   
   are raising questions about whether the realtor should have been expected   
   to do more. The state agency that oversees realtors in North Carolina has   
   indicated it is opening an inquiry into the case and is scheduling   
   interviews with Vaughan’s family about his death, the Winston-Salem   
   Journal newspaper reported Friday.   
      
   “It’s about basic decency, caring for your fellow human beings and being a   
   professional,” Vaughan’s brother, Doug, said to the Journal.   
      
   The realtor, for her part, reportedly told the Journal she has “an   
   attorney involved” and has “no liability”.   
      
   According to the Journal, the Vaughans became worried when they didn’t see   
   or hear from Randy on his grandson’s birthday. His daughter, Heather,   
   drove to his home on 14 February and didn’t see his truck in the driveway,   
   so she called authorities to check whether he was at a weekend house along   
   High Rock Lake that he was selling.   
      
   Local sheriff’s office deputies found his truck outside the home, and   
   after using a lockbox code to go inside, they found Randy Vaughan on the   
   ground unresponsive, the Journal reported. Doctors determined that he’d   
   had a stroke, and they took him by helicopter to a hospital in North   
   Carolina.   
      
   Things for his family got even worse when they learned from a realtor who   
   was working with Vaughan to sell the house that another agent had been to   
   his place on 13 February to show it to a client. In an online feedback   
   form, that agent described seeing a disrobed Vaughan on the floor and   
   fearing that he was possibly dead. But, after hearing Vaughan groan, the   
   agent speculated that perhaps he had too much to drink while watching the   
   Super Bowl the previous night, and she simply left – without calling for   
   emergency medical help – after she asked if he was OK and got no answer.   
      
   “I didn’t want him waking up to me standing over him!” wrote the agent,   
   identified as Ellen-Nora Deese, according to the Journal.   
      
   After doctors informed Vaughan’s relatives that he had suffered multiple   
   strokes and developed pneumonia, they opted to move him into hospice care   
   this past Monday. He died Wednesday afternoon, not long after having   
   retired from a career in the heating and air industry, the Journal   
   reported.   
      
   Meanwhile, Vaughan’s brother Doug called Deese’s company. Doug Vaughan   
   told the Journal that he read the feedback form during a brief   
   conversation with the company’s head agent and mentioned the state’s Good   
   Samaritan law, which says that anyone in a position to render first aid   
   can’t be sued for civil damages for any actions or omissions as long as   
   they didn’t intentionally inflict wrongdoing.   
      
   Doug Vaughan recalled her saying: “If there’s any litigation, I’m going to   
   have to refer you to my lawyer.” He recalled replying with: “Nobody said   
   anything about litigation. I just need you to be aware.”   
      
   The newspaper contacted Deese and reported that she told the outlet that   
   she had an attorney involved.   
      
   “I have no liability there,” Deese added, according to the Journal. She   
   said she would defer to her company’s broker-in-charge for further   
   comment.   
      
   But neither the attorney nor the broker-in-charge had returned messages   
   from the Journal. Deese didn’t immediately respond to a request for   
   comment from the Guardian.   
      
   Doug Vaughan told the Journal that he contacted North Carolina’s real   
   estate commission to investigate because “no one in their right mind would   
   leave a 69-year-old individual on the floor who is non-responsive without   
   reporting it”.   
      
   “I know she assumed he was drunk,” Doug Vaughan told the Journal. “That   
   was a terribly wrong assumption – my brother doesn’t drink.   
      
   “Simply, as a professional and as a human in this life, assumptions are   
   wrong and can be deadly.”   
      
   Vaughan’s son, Jamie, added in separate remarks to the Journal: “The   
   reality is, it could have been a different story. With a stroke, it’s   
   critical to get care in the first few hours. This is the world we live in   
   today?”
