Officially no. It’s actually something Ozzy was involved in the campaign for. There’s a religious crowd who freak out at the very idea. No government has yet had the will to push updates past them.
There are however doctors who will happily make a pain med prescription that is “incompatible with life”. If the patient happens to die, while dealing with the pain, well at least they weren’t in pain.
I believe the police also have a similar mindset. They won’t look too deeply, if they suspect it happened that way, with the patient’s consent. They do have the shadow of Harold Shipman hanging over them however. They missed a serial killer for years, since he was targeting OAPs.
It’s definitely needed. I watched a relative pass. Her brain was gone from stroke damage. It took almost a fortnight for her to pass however. It was horrible.
Doubt it. But maybe he just took a bunch of sleeping pills or something. Dunno how any of this works or if the police would be forced to investigate or whatever. Maybe it’s just one of those stories where you know you’re dying but you’re hanging on to finish something and once that’s done you let go and die finally. Could be that as well… or it’s all just a coincidence, why not. But my version seems more Ozzy.

My wife worked in an assisted living facility for a while and this very much is a thing. Who knows what the mechanism is, but dying folks might hold on for as much as multiple days while at the brink of death until a specific relative can get there. I could absolutely see if he just let go after getting his affairs in order following the tour
Do they have MAID in England?

We have MAID in Canada. It’s so nice to let someone with a terrible illness go with dignity.

Overidentified Aerial Phenomena?
Old Age Pensioners.
The age group most likely to drop dead, and so have the least scrutiny.
Old ass people

Yeah, heard similar stories from family members. Has to be something to it.
Maybe he travelled to a country that does it. I don’t know.
