Alain Cocq was transferred to hospital in critical condition.
The one who suffers from an incurable disease and interrupted all treatment and food on Friday evening, is experiencing significant dehydration and momentary loss of consciousness, his representative reported Monday.
“He was hospitalized last night after an intervention from the Samu.
I think he was not conscious, ”declared Tuesday Sophie Medjeberg, vice-president of the Handi-Mais-Pas-Que association, who said he feared that the patient would be taken to hospital and treated against his will. .
What she could not confirm with the person concerned.
VIDEO. Alain films his end of life live to warn about "the right to choose his death".
“As he stopped eating, he vomited all day yesterday (Sunday) and suffers from severe dehydration.
It alternates the phases of consciousness and unconsciousness, ”reported Sophie Medjeberg, vice-president of the Handi-Mais-Pas-Que association, appointed by Alain Cocq to liaise with the media.
Failing to have obtained from President Emmanuel Macron an injection of barbiturates "on a compassionate basis" to shorten his suffering, the Dijonese decided to let himself die.
He wanted to broadcast his agony live on Facebook in an attempt to change end-of-life legislation, but the social network blocked the video on Saturday morning.
"The fight must not stop"
Ms. Medjeberg said that Mr. Cocq had said despite everything "serene" Sunday during their last telephone exchange.
" I count on you ;
the fight must not stop ”, he urged.
In "terminal phase for 34 years", as he says, Mr. Cocq suffers from a rare and very painful genetic disease which blocks his arteries.
He wishes to die with dignity but the Claeys-Léonetti law on the end of life, adopted in 2016, only authorizes deep sedation for people whose vital prognosis is “in the short term”.
What Mr. Cocq cannot prove.

Bedridden in his home in Dijon, the patient is surrounded by four carers, as well as members of his family including his sister and very close friends.
“It's really painful for everyone, horrible and a shame to come to this.
We are paying a heavy price for our cause ”insisted Ms. Medjeberg.
"We need an amendment to the Leonetti law in the name of Alain at the end of the fight that he transmitted to me" she concluded.
