4. Death due to firearm wounds. Not much to think about there now is there?

My take on your your "questions":

1. The police should have done everything in their power to dissuade them. Society as a whole needs to give all people, especially older people who are in dire health and life situations better choices and care.
2. Yes
3. Yes, in tandem with answers to number 1. After exhausting societies (now limited) life help, society should also offer some kind of dignified exit.
