One other comment- guy was put on a ventilator the day of the event, and never came off it. It kept him alive, as long as it breathed for him. Wonder why it took family so long to pull the plug. Just a thought. 17 full 24 hour days on a ventilator meant the blood chemistry was not coming back such that could breathe on his own.
Perhaps his family was more religious than typical Democrats and was hoping for a miracle.
