Tony Nicklinson passes away

[Falkor]

Lost his high court battle last week to end his life, as he had locked in Syndrome.

Passed away at his home.

Hope he is able to rest in peace now

It's what he wanted. Atleast he won't be spending years In a limbo so to speak.

Could be that the fight for the court case kept him going, in some strange way.

For his sake, I'm glad he passed away quickly.

After the verdict, he was absolutely distraught.

I hope his family can now find peace, as he finally has.

Thankfully the poor sod won't be suffering any more.

RIP. Locked-in Syndrome sounds absolutely petrifying. Thankfully, he is at peace now.

Errrm, is it just me, but this seems a bit of a co-incidence doesn't it? He loses his court battle, then dies a week later despite suffering his stroke 7 years ago.

I small a rat. Watch that space for a police investigation.

Bit suspicious isn't it? Hope his wife isn't charged with anything.

The police have said they will not be investigating apparently. And quite bloody right. Hopefully his awful distress last week will have a good end and will finally cause mp's to reject those who oppose dignified death and legislate to allow it.

natural causes

100% agreed. Still seems a remarkable co-incidence to me though.

RIP Tony.

Tv news is saying pneumonia.

RIP a brave man with a loving family.

natural causes

Not quite. He was refusing food according to lawyer...

 

[glasfryn]

RIP Tony
its a peace you deserve

 

[GreersElbow]

Horrific that our government and courts decide whether an individual has the right to choose to die, whilst I agree it could be abused. If we made a solid system that checked the mental state and how much the individual wants to die, then who are we to say no?

 

[Falkor]

I think it should go to the hight court on an individual basis, how they say its against his human rights to euthanize him yet keep him alive is allowed. How is iit human to keep a man in that state

 

[sir danny cullip]

Natural causes but sounds like they were basically caused by him not eating since he got his verdict through last week, said on the news he has refused food since this date. The starvation route was one he didn't want to put his family through so fortunately something else has taken hold and got him before, such a sad case.
