Euthanasia scandal in Switzerland: Husband finds out about the death of his wife (55) via email. Italian woman ( 55) travels to Basel for euthanasia and sends mysterious message shortly before her death.

In 2021, a majority of Germans still supported terminally ill patients being able to commit assisted suicide by administering lethal medication. However, active euthanasia is prohibited in Germany – just as it is in Italy. The 55-year-old nevertheless decided to seek euthanasia in a Swiss clinic and died on October 12, 2023 in Basel.
