Thank you all on this forum for your help and support. Sadly, Douglas died this morning at 9.30. In the end, it was very quick and very peaceful, he effectively died in his sleep.

I am truly sorry for your loss, Chrissie.
Douglas managed his last few days as he wanted to, which is testament to his character. He would not have wanted to linger on and you granted him his wish to die peacefully at home, which can't have been easy. He was fortunate to have you love him.
I wish you much strength over the coming weeks and months.
RIP Douglas.
Heartfelt condolences,
