With regard to Mike, I hear that he dies of pneumonia, apparantly he wanders off into the night wearing nowt but his pj's. My mum heard that he dies in Ken's arms, so perhaps it is he who finds him. I think this storyline is really sad, my friends dad, who I have known since childhood has Altzheimers, and it is terrible to see this once loud and quite forceful person I knew, reduced to a confused and sometimes petrified old man
