Is Alzheimers a disease that one can die from by itself or is it a disease that contributes to death without actually causing it?

one does die of alzheimers disease, if they are taken good care of, they wont die of anything else memory related. once alzheimers disease progresses to the autonomic nervous system(involuntary)the one that controls breathing,heartrate,vasoconstriction and dialation, it kills you. it does directly kill you eventually, it will stop your heart or lungs. most people arent taken care of enough to let them get to that stage. and they do die of a self inflicted injury(falls,hyperglycemia,pneumonia etc.)
