Death

Yesterday morning the ventilator keeping my beloved husband of almost 51 years, died.
He died on the golf course which I guess is a good way for him to go.
Although he was 75 last week, he was still within the range for organ donation. So his kidneys and liver will live on in someone I hope.
As an obstetrician he brought life into the world, and on his way out of this world, he gave back life.
That was a comfort.

Dear crow on a golf course on Scottish soil I trust.

Please may I ask what does it mean - "the ventilator keeping my beloved husband ..." I don't understand that.
