    Yeah exactly. Look how he’s holding the newspaper. He’s not holding it up like “aha here’s my proof of life!” It’s more like “someone sat me up and told me to hold this but I don’t know why.”

    My grandma had dementia so we might be able to get a picture of her looking at a camera, but we wouldn’t have been able to get her to do something specific for a photo, like hold up a newspaper. Same thing going on here.

      It’s the eyes to me. Defocused and drifting. Combined with the drooping face, just screams stroke. If that’s the best photo they could get, his brain is likely a barely functional soup. Particularly given the drugs they likely have available to turbo charge what’s left.
