I mean death can be fairly predictable even without assisted dying.
He had the resources to have fully in-home hospice care and to have his family stay with him. The medical staff probably saw the monitors and gathered the family.
Of course this doesn’t prove it wasn’t assisted death, just an alternative possibility
I didn’t want to speculate out loud, but yeah I was wondering. I also live in a state that allows assisted dying. If the writing was on the wall and I knew I was about to start losing my faculties, I might choose that path to spare my loved ones having to watch me die one little piece at a time.
I’ve seen speculation that he chose to go out on his own terms.
Assisted dying is legal in California.
Multiple places reporting he died to “live music” surrounded by family.
Sounds planned
I would be… less sad if this is the case. My only wish for him is that he was cognizant when he went.
It’s the same thing Robin Williams had, so I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m glad he could go peacefully.
Yep, watched my Nan go through vascular dementia.
I get the diagnosis, i’m off to switzerland
Talked to a Swiss guy the other day about this very topic, it’s pretty hard to access if you’re not Swiss or very wealthy
Off a bridge it is then.
Send someone who campaigned against my right to go out on my own terms to clean my brains off of the pavement
Hopefully you can find better options domestically if the time comes. More and more places are legalizing it.
