Perhaps it's unduly British, or wimminly, of me to ask, but do you know what happened to the animals afterwards?

They were dehydrated, as they had drunk up their water from their bowls, and could not get out of the house to find water. They were treated at a local animal shelter, and discretely adopted out. After all, they had done no wrong, considering their circumstances. All of them had been well cared for by their owner.
The man who died had no local relatives. He had a rich aunt in Florida who was about 90. This whole event did not make the newspapers, as it would have sullied Maine's reputation as "Vacationland".
