Signing documents the day you die - suspicious??

Saw this on another forum - apparently the Queen signed a document about the Welsh government on the 8th September 2022 - the day she died. I know that my own grandparents would have been incapable of signing anything on their death bed, so think that this is a bit suspicious. A forged signature, or a forged date 🤔🤔🤔?

DH uncle drove a lorry the day he died. (He was parked in a lay by, not driving at the time).

My mother (admittedly a lot younger than the queen), passed a nice spring day at the shops and meeting a friend for lunch. Came home, made some calls to tradesmen about decorating her home. And then dropped dead.

She'd have been merrily signing away had business dictated.

The day my MIL died she was sitting up in bed arguing the toss about the very suggestion she would need a bed downstairs when she went home. In fact she spent most of the day arguing that she didn't need to be in hospital. At 5pm it was apparent she was actually going to die and the family was called, passed away at 9.20pm. She certainly would have been able to sign things

Similarly, the day my grandmother died, my grandfather had been called that morning to say that she would be discharged that day and asking him to pick her up that afternoon. Sadly another call followed soon after to say that her condition was deteriorating fast. I'll never forget him saying "but I was supposed to be bringing her home".

I'm so sorry. That's heartbreaking.

My dear grandad was in his garden as usual pottering about, about 11.20 said he had a headache then went to bed and died. Not all deaths are long drawn out processes.

My mum died last spring. She was more than capable of signing her name a few hours before she died. Even for elderly people death can be sudden and quick, with no long lingering.

My Granny died aged 83. After breakfast she sat in her chair to respond to emails on her phone. By lunch was critically unwell and just after 5pm she died.

I think at that age, things can come on fast.

Also can't this go to the Royal Family forum where all the other bonkers RF threads belong.

FIL was shopping in Tesco when he died. He was happy and healthy and looking forward to visitors. He just collapsed and died in the aisle before anyone got to him.
