Locked-in syndrome sufferer Tony Nicklinson dies Aug 22nd 2012, 14:02 After his case to gain his right to die last week failed, he stopped accepting food, and passed away earlier today. Its a sad state of affairs when a man chooses to starve himself to death instead of being able to choose to die peacefully. :( http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/au...?newsfeed=true Quote: Tony Nicklinson, who failed in his high court bid to be allowed to end his life with the help of a doctor, has died just six days later, his lawyers said. He had been refusing food since the verdict, but contracted pneumonia and "went downhill quickly", they said. Wiltshire police said they were not involved and it is believed the death was from natural causes.
