motor neurone disease. The actor's son, David Niven Junior, recounted the fateful events which led up to his death in an interview back in 2009. David Niven's dramatic decline left an indelible impression on his son.
"It was absolutely heartbreaking for me to see him like that, so very frail and skinny, and I remember thinking as I drove away: 'My God, this could be the last time I ever see him,'" said David Junior, 79, to the MailOnline. He continued: "Those last few months of his life were a nightmare for both of us. He could still walk, but the disease had affected the muscles in his throat so all he could eat was mushy food which he would put into his mouth and then massage his throat to get it all down.
He must have burned 105 calories trying to consume 100 calories of food and he went from 230lb to 110lb.

Out of every 20 words he said, only one could be understood, which was very frustrating for him because his mind was unaffected and had been such a marvellous storyteller.
"David Junior said his dad accepted his fate with a "stiff upper lip" but the debilitating nature of his disease ultimately deprived him of quality of life. Despite searching tirelessly for a cure, one could not be found. The artistic great sadly succumbed to the disease.
