When my Dad was dying, we were sitting with him.
He was doing OK and the end did not appear close. He force my Mom to go with my wife and me to go grab a quick sandwich in the cafeteria, down one flight.
As we were leaving the floor, he yelled out the door, “I love you.”
He was dead before the elevator doors opened.

On 5 Aug. 1984, my stepdad was sitting on the couch watching the news; my mother returned from the next-door neighbor’s house and started making dinner in the kitchen. Dad called out to Mom from the adjacent living room and told her, “Richard Burton died.”

Archimedes, however, refused to do so until he finished the problem he was working on. Enraged, the soldier killed him.”
Seems Archimedes ran out of leverage....
