I am confused about this story because I kept hearing that he injured himself by falling and now all of the sudden he is on his death bed with pneumonia?

Guy is 76. Depending on how his health was before the fall, falling at that age ends up having a high death rate.

Seniors have no idea how fast they can start sliding if they fall and hurt themselves badly and spend days or weeks in bed recovering.
Not commenting on this specifically, but I can see scenarios where this could happen. I see it year in and year out.

Pneumonia is a commonplace complication for any patient, especially elderly patients, who are bedridden for a prolonged period. It can often be fatal for someone with his set of circumstances

76 isn’t that old

Did he break some ribs?
If you've ever broken any ribs, it's easy to understand how that can happen.
Laughing, coughing or sneezing can put you in absolute misery, so you try to avoid doing any of them.

I am confused as to why you are confused.
Injure yourself by falling... get bedridden... that leads to pneumonia... which, for an elderly person, can put you on your deathbed. What's confusing?

Average life expectancy for men isn't much older. Dennis Prager didn't strike me as a physically active individual. Retire at 65, be a couch potato for 11 years... Not a good mix.
I always tell my pts who are about to retire to pick up some active hobbies.

"All of a sudden." Not "all of the sudden."

My husband got thrown from a horse and broke some ribs. He couldn’t move out of the bed on his own and was on pain meds. He developed pneumonia (likely from his initial hospital stay) and it was so bad he had to get Life Flighted to a bigger hospital. He came really close to dying. I overheard the doctors treating him say they didn’t think he was going to make it. This happened in his early 40’s and he’s very fit.
Pneumonia when one is bedbound is no joke. Especially for an elderly person.

Falls kill. Have seen it firsthand 3 or 4 times now, including with my dad. People in their 80s doing great, suffer a bad fall and are dead in 4 months from cancer or something else.
Cancer is a living entity that can explode or retreat based on things like diet, stress, sleep, etc. I firmly believe ivermectin keeps cancer at bay from the podcasts I've listened to recently and have upped my dosage to 2 clicks per week

Mrs. Axe is in the hospice nursing care industry and I can confirm this. Sometimes falls just result in bruises and soreness but, at that age, they often result in more serious injury and even death.

Yep, even "healthy" young people that inadvertently lay on their backs for as little as 3 straight days, like one might do in a hospital, are at risk for developing pneumonia.
Prolonged immobility greatly affects every system of the body (respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, genitourinary, skeletal, etc.) with immobility-related heart & lung complications sometimes causing death in already-compromised patients.
