Last night, here in East Jesus-stan, an 88-year-old man took his dog for a walk. As he did every night.
The man apparently had a mild/early case of Alzheimer's and usually wore a hearing aid. Which he wasn't wearing last night. His family kept a close eye on him. But he insisted on walking his dog and never walked very far from home, so they thought it was perfectly safe.
They were crossing some railroad tracks and the dog got stuck. While trying to free the dog, the man didn't notice an oncoming freight train.
It hit him and killed him.
The dog walked home, unhurt.
So far, the take from the local Sophisticated Theologians is: "Well, it was just his time to go. God wanted to call him home!"
