Dewar had been bed-ridden for several years from a series of strokes he suffered
earlier. He was in poor shape for a long time and required a nurse to be present
24x7 in order to live. He could comprehend people talking to him, but could not
communicate back in a normal fashion. In the end, his metabolism finally just
gave out and he could not be revived.
That's a sad way to go.
Been listening to Bridge of Sighs for a couple of weeks now.
He was one of the best.
All that happened from a medical mishap makes it seem even worse.
