Person was terminal with cancer in a hospice with his Fido-machine with him.
 
There were like multiple connections with his system and while he was in his hospital room, the machine stayed on. When he blew his last breath hospital staff within a minute or two powered-down the PC ... The failure to establish a next session marked the moment.
