In addition to Patrick Swayze's final words to her, Lisa Niemi also wrote about what the "Ghost" actor's last few days were like. In her 2012 memoir, Niemi wrote, "I cherished our time alone, holding his hand, listening to music, sleeping with my arm around him, my head on his shoulder, wordlessly." According to Niemi's book, Swayze's final words to her were spoken on a Friday night. She wrote, "My last words to Patrick? 'I love you,' and those were his last words to me. After I brought him home, things went very fast." 

After speaking one final time to his wife, Swayze slipped into a coma and never recovered. He died early the next Monday morning. In her book, Niemi went on to add, "In the quiet of Monday morning, September 14 ... I looked at his face and listened to the tiny sips of air he was taking ... There was something delicate, childlike about it. I knew it was time."

Swayze died at his ranch in the Los Angeles area, and alongside Niemi, his brother, Donny, was there, ABC News reports. Swayze and Niemi had no children together. Swayze was cremated, and his ashes were spread at the New Mexico ranch, according to Radar Online. After Swayze's death, his "Ghost" co-star Demi Moore tweeted (via Daily Star), "I love and will miss you. You are loved by so many and your light will forever shine in all of our lives."
