My sisters ex boyfriend from a decade ago perished from the standards on thursday. He was well respected, polite, charismatic, tall and handsome. Was a plumber who loved four wheel driving and fishing.He was only 31.Read an FB post from his mum, "his body couldn't put up with the stresses of the chronic alcoholism anymore". He died in his parents house. His liver and kidneys most have been shot. Must have been horrific. They must of been given the bad news a while ago and opted for in home pallative care rather than hospice.I would have never thought something like that could happen to him.
