He may have been choosing quality over quantity.

Thinking of deaths of people I've known; dying at home in bed seems preferable to most.

"Being Mortal" by Atul Gawande is an excellent book on this subject.

Doctors know how awful dying in a hospital can be, and once you're there they won't let you change your mind.
