If anything at all it brought to a light the situation for his family to see. If it's out in the open then maybe he can get help.
The messed up thing is you denounce it as a bad move based on the same lack of information. Difference is Phil acted on the side of caution. Realistically, what could be the worst outcome of the cops banging on his door: at the least a minor inconvenience at the worst they pull him in and he gets help. Neither of which are bad things.
Now let's examine your philosophy of do nothing: the worst that could happen is he could be bleeding out on the carpet until his wife or kids find him.
When you compare the two the logic of Phil's decision speaks for itself.

I never said it was bad. I said quite clearly many times that it could go either way. And I don't have a do nothing philosophy. I just don't think the facts were known to warrant the PI work that was done. You have not been listening to my position at all. You've made the assumption that I don't care. I just don't have enough information to call the police to his house.
FWIW part of my everday job deals with crisis management with people.
