All speculation but he may have turned it on first like most people, then stepped in after dropping his robe. Being 76, with the shock and urgent reaction to get out he probably slipped and ended up in the tub receiving the brunt of the hot shower screaming for help. I have no idea of the guy's state of mobility before or after.
Old folks aren't as stable on their feet as a young buck. Their agility drops rapidly after 70.
I think state law in my state requires no greater than 120F hot water.
