Don’t take anything, if even for savekeeping with a confession letter, for you could be reported for stealing. And/or the original recipient maybe prefers to avoid reaching out to others and you’d inconvenience them. Put it in a box that remains on their front porch, out of view from the street if possible.

I don’t know about the jurisdiction, or country really this is happening in, but in mine only police and the fire brigade may open doors or break in (though can and will delegate that privilege). An ambulance is not indicative of anything. Maybe they even have interacted with him canvassing his house, but he send them away fearing the bill, and the medics have been unsure this were an emergency. I used to volunteer as paramedic during Christmas season and seen my share of lonely, depressed, and inebriated people; it’s hard to tell from the outside what’s going on.

So, yeah, I second a wellness check.
