And he had recently taken to having his wife wake him from drug-induced stpors by rapping on the side of his head with a ball-peen hammer.

Ah, but the rescue succeeds. He goes knowing quite well that he is going to die; this is why he exhibits such an obvious struggle with the idea of it, and why he looks terrified the entire time he is on his way there.
