Terry Pratchett R.I.P.

This one hurts,
one of my favorite authors lost his battle with Alzheimer’s disease

Thanks for all the laughs, the world needed them

Do people die of Alzheimer's, though?

Edit: oh, OK:

Quote:
Although one does not die of Alzheimer's disease, during the course of the disease, the body's defense mechanisms ultimately weaken, increasing susceptibility to catastrophic infection and other causes of death related to frailty. At some point after the mind has been lost to this devastating disease, the body will be lost as well.

I remember reading Terry's book on the Grim Reaper in the 80s

Rest in Peace Terry.
