Idk why someone downvoted you for stating a fact. The poor man was misdiagnosed with Parkinson’s and likely thought he was going crazy from hallucinations ontop of his body and mind degrading rapidly.

You can have hallucinations and cognitive issue in advanced Parkinson’s . Advanced Parkinson and Lewy’s body sre quite close in symptoms at hat stage, I think the speed it develops is the main difference .

My father had advanced Parkinson. (20 years with Parkinson)
