From the statement it sounds like it wasn't a long battle with it, which if true would be for the best.

    That was my first thought as well. You're right, I think the statement said something like "a brief and poignant battle" and honestly the briefer the better.

    I think he went out on his own terms. Logically highly likely.....he wasn't ill for long, it doesn't usually work that way with dementia. Poignant is an interesting word to use describing his battle.

    Truly hope so, if that was his will, tricky ground when will itself is compromised. As someone with that in my family and potentially my future, I would truly appreciate the mercy of an easy self directed end at a time of my choosing. We however do not live in an enlightened future and euthanizing the inconvenient is right up the nazi alley.
