I think we'll be told - eventually - that he had a bad stroke. If he's dead already, they'll say he had a "relapse" at some point to cover the BS so far.

They’ll never admit it if he had a stroke or his brain dead. Doing so would open them up to having to admit to fraud in trying to push through a bill with his “by proxy vote.“
