The article doesn’t make any sense to me.

Either they withheld the feeding tube or they didn’t. Now was the cause of death starvation? Hmmm?

This article sucks bad.

Exactly. If a feeding tube is necessary to prevent starvation or dehydration, a feeding tube is necessary. If it isn't, it isn't. If someone is in such failing health that even if they don't eat anything they'll die of other causes before starvation sets in, what's the point of a feeding tube?
