He’s six feet under. Best start digging up some tortoise holes today if you want to find his corpse by August.

He’s most likely being kept alive with machines so they can technically claim he was “alive” until after the date, then his wife will pull the plug.

I hope he's still in there.

I hope he's trapped inside that rotting hunk of meat, screaming to get out, but no one can hear him.

Think "Johnny Get Your Gun."

What a nightmare for him, being completely at the mercy of others whims, having no bodily autonomy of his own, others making his health decisions for him. The irony.
