A trick question I need help on. ^__^ It's fun but HARD!?

Question

Ok. I need someone to help me with this brain-teaser:

"There was once an old man who lived by himself and never left his home. The only time anyone ever visited him was when his food and supplies were delivered, but they never came inside. Then one stormy winter night when an icy gale was blowing, he had a nervous breakdown. He went upstairs, turned off all the lights and went to bed. Next morning, he had caused the deaths of several hundred people. How?"

I need an answer, guyz! And please don't tell me that you "don't know." [Only smart ppl are allowed to answer this one.] Are u smart enough? ;)

i know this. the old man lives in a light house and when he went to sleep he turned of the light of the light hose causing a ship wreck in the middle of the night. so people died of the ship wreck.

Okay, thanks, now this is driving me crazy, Maybe when he turned off all the lights, he turned off everyones and they froze to death. Or maybe he had the only house, and since they never came inside, they froze, I was trying to link it to the nervous breakdown, but if he never left his house, then how could that work? I had to give my opinion on this .

The man lived in a light house so whenever he turned off the lights there would be accidents.  CUTE! STAR!
