And what you have described is NOT from the morphine but rather from the death process. As with the originator my question to you is what was the underlying disease from which you father suffered?

Well Morphine suppresses breathing in high doses. He had cirrhosis and was a smoker, but I think the meds did something as he deteriorated extremely quickly (about 12 hours) I was also shocked he was not on a 3 lead ekg with telemetry or a pulse ox monitor. The nursing staff said he didn’t need them anymore.
