This is not accurate and would have benefited from further research. My grandfather passed away bankrupt. He was able to stay in this house because he signed ownership over to the university before he declared bankruptcy. If not for that, he and my grandmother would have had to move to another location. Upon my grandmother's death, the university sold the house and auctioned off everything in the house. All the money went to the university.
Well, it sounds like he didn't wind up on Skid Row, if he was fortunate enough to die in a big house, whoever actually owned it.
