I read earlier today that his daughter had either been given permission to or had made the decision to stop treatment and allow him to pass.
When someone is on a ventilator and has no hope of recovery and the vent is removed, it allows them to pass.
When someone has difficulty swallowing and therefore receives food and water through a feeding tube, taking away that food and water doesn't "allow them to pass." It kills them. The cause of death is not the disease process but dehydration. And it's a very bad way to die.
“I read earlier today that his daughter had either been given permission to or had made the decision to stop treatment and allow him to pass.”
I have seen talk of this but with all the in house fighting in the family it just does not look good, know what I mean? Really though it is wrong to say “in house” because it seems this family is doing a Jerry Springer all over the place if this story is to be believed.
