    If not dementia, it was a similarly debilitating condition. Wanted to dip on his own terms before he became a husk of himself.

    RIP Rob, you were the GOAT.

      It was Lewy Body Dementia. He had periods of lucidity and in one of those decided that he no longer wanted to live as a prisoner in his own body, and a burden to his family because for all intents and purposes his life as a functioning human was over.

      Honestly his entire circumstance is a shining example of why we need a death with dignity law.

      It was Lewy Body Dementia, I remember because my grandma had it. It’s non-hereditary thankfully, but just as debilitating as Alzheimer’s.
