How do people die from a disabilty?

Answer 1

If the disability means the body is unable to sustain life or that they are unable to care for themselves, the person will die. Sometimes the disability means the body is unable to cope with something a healthy body can deal with. Probably the best known example is Christopher Reeve, who had a spinal injury which meant he could not breathe for himself, cough etc. a minor cold which a healthy person would not even worry about went to his chest because he could not cough etc and he dies of pneumonia.
