Here is where you jump in, Thanatoid. This thread is seriously lacking
some of that:

He is dead, let the worms eat him, I had him KF'ed anyway, he wasn't a
real person, etc... type of "just being honest" stuff.

Then, naturally, when people react to that you can go into the "I am
being attacked" routine for just being honest, etc...

Wake up, now is your time to shine.

The coroner won't release the official report for another 2-3 months,
but it looks like some kind of pneumonia.

I appreciate your patience and hope you will extend it further, although I
know you do not have to respond to what I'm about to query.

With a man who clearly was unwell, according to your description of his
condition last week or so, I'm unclear, in fact astounded nobody close to
him, if not himself (his stubbornness' notwithstanding
[if applicable]) would take the initiative to have him see a quack or
admitted to hospital.

Damn, if I came over with the feeling of weakness and I could exclude, and
not dismiss the prospect of 'flu' for example, I would hope I would do
something about it, or hope that those close to me would recognise I was not
my 'normal' 'healthy' self. <shakes head>

Look, I don't doubt that events can move relatively quickly, not least we
all have enough on our plates for various reasons, and that if someone like
Lee, who appeared to have everything going for him, well liked/connected,
and a close knit family, even at sixty-one years old, was unable to check
himself or hopefully rely on others to see something out of the ordinary in
his demeanour was perhaps amiss, what hope is there for the rest of us?

Maybe he did just have an unusually effective, yet fatal 'bout' of
pneumonia - Very strange.
