His twin sister died last week, here in the same town where he lives, but he wasn't strong enough to attend the burial or funeral. He got a lot of visitors though, since so many family members were in town. I guess after losing his twin, and seeing so many people again, he didn't see much point in fighting to stay alive longer. The next day he didn't want to get out of bed. yesterday, the next day, he had trouble breathing but refused to go to the hospital. Today he's unresponsive. The hospice nurse says in her experience he has anywhere from a few hours to a week left. So my wife is with him now and I finally wrapped a few things up at work so I can grab the kids and get over there too. They haven't seen him in a long time because he's been in quarantine for infections he had. So it looks like this is it.
