nice conversation guys smiling face

I too first thought of the wife because the closest relative is to be suspected, but well, probably for reasons mentioned by vyseerx, it probably the daughter, they havent mentioned whether the officer has a son.

you did not mention the wife's age (she can be much more younger than husband) and also if she is the primary care giver of her husband or not...so why not the abuser could not be the wife :?:

it is only natural to assume the wife of a 75 years old man would be around 70. even though she CAN be 30, whichis an exception not the RULE. that she is brought to ER by the DAUGHTER also tells that she is the primary care giver. so, she is mostlikely abuser
