That all adds up to a known killer of Jewish people. Tay-sachs usually kills in early childhood, but not always. It kills by destroying some of all parts of the brain. Eventually leads to coma and death. Known disease, no autopsy.
Good question. I learned what I know about it on the internet.
It usually kills young children, so it must be fairly fast.
It has become common practice in the States to starve and dehydrate people with severe brain injuries. It’s typically done as soon as possible, before anyone has a chance to cause a scene. I don’t know if that’s what happened here, but it wouldn’t be unusual.
N.Koreans are like registered Democrats....they both like to kill Americans.
This is a land where they can turn a pine cone into a grenade. They can do miracles we never dream of.
Such as turning a pine cone into a three course meal...
.....”The family not allowing an autopsy and the government not insisting on one is very suspicious”.....
I think they pretty much covered what killed him. He was DOA on arrival IMO. And likely died in N.Korea soon after his sentencing.Some have said he strangled himself/or the N.Koreans did but failed...which would account for the lack of oxygen etc. to his brain. They just hooked him up to a feeding machine to keep his body going...the fact they would not let Swedan check on him evidences his death was early on.
How did NORK healthcare keep him alive for so long when the UuS health care couldn’t?
Did the family have him taken off of life support?
There’s nothing that drops out of North Korea’s mouth that’s believable.
LMAO!
Brain injuries are difficult for everyone. Some people don’t cope well. It’s become common practice to remove life support, and even food and water, rather than deal with a severe brain injury. People usually cope with what they’ve done by pretending their loved one died at the moment their brain was injured. Defining someone as dead makes it easier to deprive them of life sustaining measures, and helps avoid the feelings of guilt associated with starving and dehydrating someone to death.
I went through that last year at this time. My father at age 84 suddenly suffered a debilitating bout with dementia. He could not care for himself anymore. We found him lying on the floor of his condo unshaven, uncleaned and not haven eaten in many days. Over the course of the next 6 weeks he was in and out of intensive care to a nursing care facility and back because of seizures and other complications. Then at the end he could not properly swallow food or drink anymore (went right into his lungs and caused an infection).
As per his written wishes he did not want to be placed on life support, in this case a feeding tube. So he was transferred back out of the hospital to the nursing home where he was allowed to pass after a few days of not being fed or given water.
It gave us all a chance to say our final goodbyes, even though he had difficulty remembering everyone. He passed on Father’s Day 2016.
