It sounds like the sort of thing hospitals tell you about your own loved ones:
"How is he?"
"Comfortable, well as can be expected."
I remember the late Queen Mother saying that her interpretation of the word "comfortable" and the hospital's were very far removed.

Nurses are usually almost sure when someone is dying, it is just NOT good practise to actually say this to the family of the DYING person, because above all until that person is pronounced dead no-one knows for sure. I agree with the queen on this one.
