“Jeb, interestingly enough, was asleep and turns off all his equipment at night so we couldn’t reach him,” said Neil Bush, Jeb’s brother and one of the president’s sons. “[Jeb] woke up at 4 in the morning and turned on the TV and found out that his dad had passed away. But every grandchild and every sibling was able to tell our father and our grandfather what an amazing man he was.”

That’s pretty stunning. I typically turn stuff off when I need a good long sleep. However, when my family was ill or in the hospital, if I couldn’t be there, I always had my cell phone on and with me. Even if I just got up to go to the Bathroom at night, or went out to the garden by day.
I agree, very unusual.
