I read it, and it’s so bloody awful. He spent more than half his life in this state.
And it was down to a knee operation. It’s horrific.

When they say coma do they actually mean unconscious or do they mean in a vegetative state

He wasn't on life support, he was breathing without support. He was also able to eat.
There was no life support to switch of!

'Remarkable devotion'
Piers Edwards, BBC Sport Africa
Bernadette Adams is a remarkable woman, a gentle but steely soul who never once considered turning off her husband's life support machine despite his vegetative state.
For four decades, she has spent nearly every day caring for Jean-Pierre, changing his clothes, preparing his food, never forgetting to give him presents and often talking to him too.
The response was of course silence from a man once described as "larger than life" (and whose skills were highly rated by German football legend Franz Beckenbauer) yet nurses reported slight mood changes on the rare occasions Bernadette went away for a night or two.
I visited the Adams home in southern France in 2016 whereupon Bernadette explained the hospital had never apologised for an accident which she could not help thinking about every day.
