IMO both should not have been at their home. If she had a confirmed diagnosis of Hanta she should have been in the hospital. Given his frailty and severity of dementia he should have been in a nursing home / hospice. They might both be alive or not at this time but at least they would have been at a place for supportive care instead of dying separately in their home and not being found for over a week after he died.

He has long been among my favorite actors. Saw the recentish paparazzi pic of him and his wife and it was obvious in that he was mostly gone.

95 years is a long run. My Father died with Alzheimer's at 84 and my Mother will be 91 in May. Her mind is still capable but her body isn't. At 70 I think I'd like to go with both my mind and body functional but if you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans.
