Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
It is difficult to predict the time frame for death.
In addition to
stroke, it also depends on other factors such as nutrition, nursing care and
physiotherapy. If he is looked after well by the family, nurses and physical therapists, his life can be prolonged. On the other hand, if he develops
chest infection, or other complications, the end may come sooner.
I hope it helps.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
Best wishes,
