It seems to me Alzheimer's can be a cause of death; admittedly
the proximate cause would be starvation (some prefer to call it
dehydration) and admittedly also once someone is that weak, an
infection that would not normally be fatal, is.  Still, I'd be
inclined to say Alzheimer's was a cause.

Sherwin B. Nuland's wonderful "how we die" outlines the four basic ways a person dies. That's it. Sounds morbid, but it's a very good book.
