“For people who do not understand the natural dying process: Giving food and water to a dying body creates pain and further suffering.

Kerri says the family has been gathered around Casey, 82, who is in a Washington hospital.
“For the last 11 days, our father has been surrounded day and night by love and care by his daughters Kerri and Julie, his son Mike, his brother Mouner and sister-in-law Mary, and his dear friend Gonzalo Venecia.”
She added that they “hope” for Casem’s wife, Jean, who has been fighting with the kids over Casey’s care, and Jean’s daughter, Liberty, will join them."
