Mubarak's accusers may not be able to fix the trial as well as they would like, so they took plan B, meddle with his medication so they don't have the embarrassment of an acquittal.

He doesn’t have a position except as a defendant in a criminal case.

If it is cancer, the coma is usually the last stage before the end.

Yep...and they will sustain that coma until it's politically advantageous for his death to be announced.
