Elderly woman dies after 2 strangers take over her life

This is the Toronto house where 85-year-old Dorelia Licorish had been living in alone for decades when two men, Daniel Gopey and his husband Elton John Rambarat, moved into her basement and started calling her mommy. And then he said, oh, these are my sons from God. They said, no, their son's from the devil. Friends and family say Licorish had dementia when the men allegedly moved in in March 2024. Within a few months, Licorish's bank account was drained and she signed a will leaving everything to them, two virtual strangers. The men also got powers of attorney over her health and finances. The Dorelia before the dementia would not have done that? Are you kidding? It is. No. The Fifth Estate has learned the men who are from Guyana took Licorish there twice, the second time for nearly four months. Residents told us they stayed in this dilapidated home and that she was left to fend for herself for hours at a time. Shortly after they returned, Licorish became bedridden and developed a stage four bedsore. So severe, it led to an infection that killed her. Healthcare workers were making regular home visits, but it's not clear why nobody called 911 sooner. If she arrived at the hospital sooner, she may still be alive. The family had called the police multiple times but they only began investigating allegations of elder abuse when Darilia was dying. Police say after a thorough review of the circumstances they found no evidence to lay criminal charges. It may not result in a criminal charge. We have to understand that there is something going on and I need to get to the bottom of it. As for the men, they're still living in Licorish's home. They told us they were her devoted caregivers because her family was not taking care of her. And say it's why Licorish left everything to them including her house valued at approximately a million dollars. They think we are two young guys and we want to take advantage of her. We came here to rent the place. We came here to take advantage of her. Thank you. The family is in the process of contesting the will. Ioanna Roumeliotis, CBC News, Toronto.
