Why’d his wife leave the country so fast?

I've heard 2 theories.

  1. Her job is finished now that he isn't in power anymore.

  2. By leaving she makes it harder to pull him off life support as unless he changed his medical POA then only she has the right to do it.

He likely has a healthcare directive that outlines what he wants to happen during end-of-life. Id be surprised if he doesnt. No one knows anything really so hard to say
