FREDERICK, Md. — A judge in Maryland must decide if a man who suffered severe brain damage after a heart attack should continue getting sustenance through a feeding tube at his mother’s and brother’s behest, contrary to his wife’s instructions.

A Frederick County Circuit Court judge will hear arguments Wednesday in the case involving Daniel Sanger, 55, of Rohrersville. The unemployed computer technician lost much of his speaking ability and mobility after a heart attack in July, according to his brother Mark Sanger, a Eugene, Ore., businessman.

I noticed his weirdness a few years ago. I figured he’d get zotted sooner or later.

FREDERICK, Md. – A brain-damaged man at the center of a dispute over whether his feeding tube should be removed has died.

An attorney for the wife of 55-year-old Daniel Sanger said the wife called him Wednesday morning to say her husband had died overnight.

A Frederick judge who was set to hear arguments on whether Sanger should continue getting sustenance through a feeding tube declared the case moot in a brief hearing on Wednesday. Sanger suffered severe brain damage after a heart attack.

Sanger's mother and brother had been seeking an injunction to keep the feeding tube in place at Frederick Memorial Hospital. It was restored last month under a temporary restraining order after Sanger's wife had it removed.
