Nancy Cruzan's husband, who was named Joe Cruzan, faced significant emotional and legal challenges following her tragic car accident in 1983, which left her in a persistent vegetative state. After years of advocating for her to be allowed to die with dignity, he ultimately supported the legal efforts to remove her feeding tube, which culminated in a landmark Supreme Court case in 1990. The case highlighted issues of patient autonomy and the right to die, but it also deeply affected Joe Cruzan personally, as he dealt with the loss of the life he once shared with Nancy. Eventually, Nancy passed away in 1990 after her feeding tube was removed.
