It is the complications of advanced Parkinson's disease (reduced activity, swallowing difficulties, being bedridden, etc.) which result in the terminal events (often a pneumonia). This happens with diseases other than PD as well. This is why keeping active is so important with PD. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
