My grandpa had Alzheimer and eventually after a few years lost his ability to swallow. They could have hooked up a feeding tube or whatever to him but family decided it was better to let him pass. I understand because if you can't even swallow then that is a sign that perhaps you are done for this world. I believe it took him a few days to die which probably sucked. He was so far gone that I don't think he suffered that much in the end.
