Englert admitted that at his age the best thing he could do was to “pray for a quick and healthy death.” He emphasized that what he feared more than death was that he would become helpless and completely dependent on other people. “I wouldn't want to be a burden to anyone. That's what I'm afraid of,” he confessed.
