Guest guest Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 My mom is a couple years into her obvious signs of LBD. Please pardon my ignorance but could you tell me what actually causes death in an LBD patient? I tried searching the group but could only find reference to death from lack of nutrition when the person stops eating. I assume this is caused by the lack of the ability to swallow? Or do the protien deposits in the brain eventually affect organ function? (daughter and caregiver of Lois, 86 yrs old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
