Sad to die alone in a strange country.

 

Hope his life was as magnificent as his name.

He is not Dutch but German.

 

[Roel]

His nationality was Deutsch.

What did he say?

He said he was Dutch.

I would say so given the name. Its not a typical Dutch name more a German name but who knows. 

[keeniau96]

Definitely a German name. Minor German prince, quite a descent to die alone here.

That is very true, no one wants to die alone, I can only hope I go out as a functioning person with a massive heart attack, not a disabled bag of bones that burdened my family members for years & years.

 

RIP to the man, there is no suggestion but with all these blood pressure medicines, it would be easy to lower your BP so low that you just go to sleep and die.  Nothing wrong with going out on your own terms.
