What finally killed him was pneumonia. Probably picked it up in his hospital visits... I can't imagine being that old and worrying every day and night whether this was my very last day.

Pneumonia is lurking in your lungs all the time. When your immune system finally gets weak enough, or when you are just done with life and ready to pass, it's usually pneumonia. What the doctors call "the old folk's friend" because it lets you die peacefully when you're ready. Your O2 content slowly drops and you just shut down.

Interesting, didn't know about it lurking inside you. I knew it puts strain on your heart and basically gives you heart attacks, strokes and insta-kills you, which is why I always tell my geriatric dad to get vaccinated against it but it sounds like that won't do anything?
