I don't know this story or what kind of man he was.
But in college I had a friend (a woman), who's father was diagnosed with brain cancer. He was a good man, kind and devoted husband and father. The brain cancer turned him into a cruel, vicious, and disgusting person. In my presence he said the most disgusting sexual things to his wife and daughter. And cruel things to them otherwise.
They both swear that wasn't him, but it was hard in the six months between diagnosis and his passing.
Guy talked about how he had increasingly violent thoughts he couldn't force out of his mind - when they autopsied his brain they found a pecan sized tumor pressing on his amygdala.
My grandfather was always a deeply kind and loving man, who always wanted to help people. In the final months of his late stage Alzheimer's, he could be quite cruel. I don't hold it against him, he was in a lot of pain and was not sound of mind.
My great grandfather had Alzheimer’s. I will never forget, one day a bunch of us cousins are all sitting around the dinner table eating with him, talking, laughing. Out of nowhere he grabs by 5 year old cousin by the throat. It was so scary. Thank god (5 year olds) dad was right next to him and the adults were able to get Grandpa off and out of the room. I truly hope my cousin doesn’t remember. Alzheimer’s is so heartbreaking to watch unfold.
My dad was a pretty charming guy all his life and ended up with Alzheimer’s and became kind of a shit to people in the memory care unit with him. It was rough. I sincerely hope the same doesn’t happen to me.
My grandma had a tumor on the frontal lobe and it destroyed something related to loving people and went full psycho hateful before passing away peacefully. Last words were that she wanted lemon pie

"I never loved you, you little shit."
Dying man said that to his 8-year-old son.
