Health Problems
The elderly man had a hazardous incident in the past. He fell and had a seizure while working in the garden.
Fortunately, it was midday, and a neighbor saw that he was not responding and immediately contacted the emergency responders. The elderly guy was on a hike when this occurred, and it caused him to consider what he would do if it happened again. However, because the seizures were uncommon, he felt it was not worthwhile to give up on life. He would soon come to regret making that choice.
