A healthy British teacher traveled to Switzerland for a lethal injection while telling unsuspecting family he was only visiting a friend in Paris.
The forty-seven-year-old chemistry teacher Alastair Hamilton, who announced to his family in London that he was visiting a friend in Paris, lived without a diagnosed illness - in fact he traveled to Basel, Switzerland, where he paid ten thousand pounds to a "suicide clinic", the Daily Mail reported on the shocking story.
The institution also hid Hamilton's death from the family.
Speaking to the newspaper, the mother, Judith Hamilton, therefore warns all families to beware of the Pegasus clinic, where
before the lethal intervention, they do not expect proof of any kind of illness or a companion to accompany them to die. And according to the law, they can do that there.
Another addition is that it was only through the mother's intransigence, as well as the police, foreign affairs and Interpol, that it was possible to discover what happened to the teacher after he disappeared last summer.
The clinic released the remains to the family two months after the death only under pressure from the police and against the advice of their legal advisers.
The mother is still extremely sad and believes that it is not certain that she will ever know all the details, so why her son came to this decision. By the way, the authorities reached the institution that administered the lethal dose through bank transfers.
The tragic event is also related to politics, as a group of representatives in Great Britain initiated the possibility of introducing assisted suicide at the time the incident, which shocked public opinion, came to light.
Kerner Starmer of the labor party called on Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to support the initiative, but he left the possible vote to the conscience of the representatives.
