86-year-old man dies after son claimed hospital was 'starving him to death'
independent.co.uk
An 86-year-old man suffering from advanced dementia has died in hospital after his son claimed he was “starving to death”.
Stanley Thompson died on Wednesday, a day after his son, Stan, lost a legal battle for him to be tube-feed. The pensioner had been diagnosed with dementia in 2014 and was suffering from the condition’s advanced stages.
According to Stan, his father had difficulty swallowing and was therefore starving in a Liverpool hospital. He asked for the pensioner to be fitted with a feeding tube. However, the staff refused his request, arguing that it would be unethical to do so and would cause him pain. They said the procedure would be risky and would not be likely to improve his life expectancy.
