Why would you abandon your house for 4 years?

We live in a little hamlet. The largest house in the village had a lovely 50’s/60’s couple living in it. In 2020 they stayed there less and less, and we presumed they were isolating or caring for relatives. Since then they have come back to the house once for 2 days. The garden is obviously cared for, and nothing looks dilapidated, and there are still jackets on the backs of chairs, sun cream by the side of the kitchen window, it looks like they have just stepped out to go to the supermarket. What would the reason be for just upping and leaving your house, and 4 years later still not renting it, selling it or coming home for your belongings? I am so curious!

Someone else in the hamlet must have seen the gardener. Also the postman or woman would be an obvious person to ask if they have delivered anything there recently. If there were 2 years worth of mail shot and Election leaflets piled in the hall way, it would indicate noone alive is at home.
