I'm going to suggest that you move your inquiry to the main Substance Abuse Forum because the Suboxone forum has limited activity.
As my DOC is oxycodone (no tylenol), I can't be much help to you regarding the signs of liver damage/failure.

Also, if tolerance continues, will the patient experience withdrawals even at their usual very high dose that they take daily?

I'm assuming that you mean if a tolerance has been built to 100mg, will the addict experience withdrawal at 80mg. Yep. For
this addict it's a moot point because I never stabilize, I keep doing more. I don't think that I'm very unique.
Is this withdrawal process ever fatal? Opioid withdrawal is not classified as one that is fatal. CAN it be? Well, one might need to consider the health of the addict. I suggest that you ask a specific doctor about a specific patient to get an accurate answer to this question.

I am simply curious as to what we can expect for this man who refuses treatment.

He can expect what any addict can expect: jails, institutions, and/or death.
It's not a pretty picture. I hope that this helps some.
