For example, I had known a certain old man for a period of time before he told told me one day that he had lost interest in life. 5 days later he was dead.
Was the death caused by his loss of interest in life?
Perhaps, but we can also give a purely physical description, without the need to discuss his attitude at all.
He also had become physically unsteady because of a new medication he had been put on.
I recommend talking to his doctor about his reaction pronto, but he didn't seem fussed.
3 days later he had a fall at home in the kitchen and was sent to hospital.
2 days later he was dead.
What killed him?
The fall?
The medication?
The loss of will to live?
Obstinance in being unwilling to visit his doctor about the drug effects?
Complacency?
Sloth?
