This may seem like an "I told you so" post given my leanings, however the most important sentence to take from the article is:
"He and his wife then headed to their house in New Hampshire. "
I believe they record deaths as your residence address, not where you actually pass away, so this is probably not in the NH totals.
Sad story, and what many locals have been fearing.
