I do so hope to avoid such an ending.

They let this drag out too long. Should have humanely put him down instead of prolonging the suffering

[machineguneddie]

Why on earth didn't they just give him high doses of morphine or put him in an induced coma to stop his agony?

Neutron radiation is horrendous, because it introduces solid particles into the body (neutrons), some of which are captured by the atomic nuclei inside the living organism. This creates new highly radioactive atoms, which decay and irradiate the body from within. Also many of these atoms are converted into new elements when they decay.. Sodium becomes Magnesium for example.
This causes terrible damage to the biochemistry of the organism.
Add that to the fact that cell repair is impossible where the chromosomes have been destroyed. Neutron radiation is a four-pronged attack on the body.
It is kinetic, it is electromagnetic, thermal and chemical.

Just imagine that his chromosome structure was so messed up that his body literally lost any information about how to regenerate itself in anyway and he rotted away while still bring alive because of that

Poor bastard. If he was my family member, I think I'd smother him with a pillow to srop his suffering.

The medical people in charge of keeping him alive started questioning the morality of what they were doing, yet they continued doing it....

I have been out-ranked!
You said it so much more eloquently than I... Well said!
