Grieving Mother Ends Life at Swiss Clinic Four Years After Son's Death

Wendy Duffy, 56, from West Midlands, ended her life at the Pegasos clinic in Basel, Switzerland on 24 April, four years after the death of her 23-year-old son Marcus who died after choking on a sandwich. The former care worker, who had previously attempted suicide, paid £10,000 for the procedure. Her case emerges as proposed assisted dying legislation in England and Wales failed to become law after running out of time in Parliament.
