He did manage to take the secret of his crime to the grave, it probably just didn’t take as long to get there as he expected.

At a certain age it’s best to hire someone to shovel snow rather than risk a heart attack. A bit more difficult to find someone who’ll dig a grave for your murder victim.

The trick is to dig a hole while you have your youth, then it’ll be ready for you when you are infirm. Maybe dig a fair number of holes just in case (you never know).

"But before he could finish the job he was found dead at the scene, "
This suggests that he was still working on the job while Dead, but once he was found he stopped. Awkward outcome.

They say that an old friend will help you hide a body. I guess he needed an old friend!

Not too old, though, or they’d have keeled over, too.

Unfortunate he did not have the heart experience before becoming a murderer.
Didn’t have the cash to rent a backhoe?
