My father returned home, after seeing his son, to tend to the livestock on the farm.
He probably did not take time for rest and was on the way back to the hospital to visit when he fell asleep driving.
At about 1:15 pm, his car left the road (M-15 in Richfield Township) and struck a tree, ending his life.
