This is true
He was the type of person who couldn't function without being given any direction in life. When my mother in law died, he had no one to keep him in any kind of line. Took up with a gin-soaked chain-smoking old troll for a few months until even she got fed up with him.

An incident where he ended up with a fractured neck after a drunken fall kept him in hospital for four months and dried him out for a bit. First thing he did on being discharged was hit the pub. He was dead only a few months later.

I don't think he wanted to live to be honest, but took the slow option...
