I'm writing a story and one of the main characters is dying from tuberculosis. But that brings up the question... how does someone die from tuberculosis? I know what it is and what it does to the body, but I want to know how someone would die from it, what the person would be like in the last few stages. Sorry if this offends anyone, but please answer with as much detail as you can. I can't find this answer anywhere else!
