We used to have a landscaper we employed at the family home who died like that. He had just bought a new pair of Timberlake boots that he had been saving money for.

I remember him proudly showing them to us. That evening he was walking back to his house and got jumped by guys who robbed him from his boots. He was beaten. He did not want to go the to ER and instead went to sleep it off. The next morning he was dead.
