My bosses' father had one. Was in his late eighties and in failing health, physically and mentally. Many times he almost passed but somehow hung on. Something no one thought of was the pacemaker. It was the only reason he was still alive. Wouldn't let his heart stop. It was a tough decision but it had to be turned off to allow him to pass.
I agree with above. If he needed it before why would he not need it now?
