his father just passed away he had Alzheimer's disease but it was very sudden onset and within the course of eight months his health deteriorated so quickly and ultimately he died from cellulitis obviously but you can see that this is someone who probably at the very end was at risk for these things because of all these other changes so and I've also seen people die from just failure to thrive they have Alzheimer's disease and they just can't eat it they don't want to eat they completely lose their appetite they become anorexic and they be sort of almost drift into a vegetative state where unless you would force-feed them they will die relatively quickly
