I THINK IT IS A BLESSING THAT THE 88 YEAR OLD KING DIED AS YOU COULD SEE IT IN HIS FACE THAT HE WANTED TO DIE AND FIND PEACE WITH WHAT EVER GOD HE BELIEVED IN!
THE PEOPLE DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DIE AND DID EVERY THING THEY COULD TO KEEP THEIR KING ALIVE MEDICALLY!
Sharon, thank you for your comment about the king and the other remarks you sent to me. He was a Buddhist. It is true that he had been sick for a very long time.
