Physically healthy British mom dies by euthanasia at Swiss assisted suicide clinic

Summary: Wendy Duffy, a 56-year-old mother from Britain, was physically healthy but deeply heartbroken after her son died. Four years ago, her son Marcus tragically choked on a tomato in his sleep. Wendy tried therapy and medicine, but nothing stopped her intense grief.

She traveled to a clinic in Switzerland where assisted suicide is legal. She paid $13,500 to end her life peacefully. The clinic called her decision a "sane suicide." In her final moments, she wore her son's shirt and listened to the song "Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars. Wendy said she chose a clinic so she wouldn't leave a scary scene for strangers to find.
