No they didnt use a dialysis machine on him. and by the way you know how long he was in that coma? 1 month then they stopped treatment.
The 65-year-old DeLay, his brother, Jerry, and their wives were trying out a tram the brothers had built to ferry their families up and down a 200-foot slope from their backyard home in Canyon Lake, Texas, to the edge of the lake when the tram roared out of control and jumped the tracks on Nov. 17, 1988.
Doctors advised that he would "basically be a vegetable," said the congressman's aunt, JoAnne DeLay, who suffered a shattered elbow and broken bones in the crash.
Like Schiavo, DeLay had no living will but had reportedly expressed to others his wish not to be kept alive by artificial means.
"Extraordinary measures to prolong life were not initiated," according to his medical report, which cited "agreement with the family's wishes."
He died on Dec. 14, 1988
