Spoiler alert!
Tully's friend Levine tells Tully's girlfriend Natalie, referring to Tully, "He's definitely an alcoholic." (0:24)
A hemorrhagic rash on his back reveals Tully's problems with blood coagulation, probably related to alcoholic liver disease. (0:37) Apparent evidence of rectal bleeding appears and leads to a diagnosis of "advanced cirrhosis." (0:38)
Telly tells Levine, "I have quit." (0:51)
Tully attributes his tremor to alcohol withdrawal, "writing with DTs." (1:05)
Natalie awakens to find Tully dead in the bed beside her. (1:23)
Similar to Leaving Las Vegas the dying alcoholic does not look quite as sick as I would expect in reality. Is it likely that either of these characters could perform sexually within 24 hours of death from alcoholic liver disease?
