"The doctors told MS at that time to let her go but he refused and continued to work to try and get her better for almost five years"
And it took yet another two years before he remembered her wish to die.
Looks to me like he refused to admit that she was gone even though the doctors told him it was so. If the Lie that he was just a money grubber was true there was NOTHING to prevent him from removing the tube as soon as the settlement money came in.
It was hard to accept my wife's imminent demise too but eventually I had to.
It is also a fact that MS did not make this decision himself but, as a concession to the Schindlers, put it in the hands of an objective third party, the judge.
15 years ago he believed there was hope. After 8 or 9 years, hope disappears.
