His father, David, contracted a terrible, fatal illness with no known cure. Instead of watching his father suffer any more to await a lingering death, he mercifully pulled the plug at his father's request.

McCoy suffered a serious overdose of cordrazine in a shipboard accident. He fled the ship and jumped through a time portal being studied by the Enterprise at the time. In the past, McCoy was seriously affecting the time line, so Kirk and Spock had to follow him to restore the shape of history.
