Technically he died of pneumonia but he did have Alzheimers. It was on full display for years. But you rarely die of it. It just makes you much more likely to die from something else.

Yeah, we had to watch my wife’s mom die of dehydration. Pneumonia is a really common Alzheimer’s related illness as they forget how to swallow and cough properly (or productively).

Until we have right to die laws, dying from Alzheimer’s-related ______ is going to remain common.
