 '' Elena has just confirmed her will: she died, in the way she chose, in the country that allowed her ''.

She writes it in a tweet Marci Cappato announcing '' tomorrow morning in Italy I will go to self-report ''.

Yesterday Cappato Marco Cappato, treasurer of the Luca Coscioni Association, announced that he was in Switzerland to follow up on the request for help received from a 69-year-old Venetian lady, a patient suffering from an important irreversible lung cancer with metastases, which has asked to be accompanied to the Swiss country in order to have legal access to assisted suicide.

ELENA'S LAST MESSAGE (VIDEO)

"I have always been convinced that every person must decide on his own life and must also do it on his own end, without constraints, without impositions, freely, and I think I did it, after thinking about it a lot, also putting into effect the convictions I had even before the illness. I would certainly have preferred to end my life in my bed, in my house, holding my daughter's hand and my husband's hand. Unfortunately this was not possible and, therefore, I had to come here alone. "

Mrs Elena, resident in Spinea (Venice), who until yesterday was known under the fictional name "Adelina" for privacy reasons, says this in her last message.

The woman died today in Switzerland, where she went yesterday to Switzerland as Marco Cappato, treasurer of the Luca Coscioni Association.

Elena had received the diagnosis of pulmonary microcytoma at the beginning of July 2021. Immediately the doctors had told her that she would have little chance of getting out of it, after attempts at treatment, she was told that there were still a few months to survive, with a situation which, gradually, would become heavier and heavier.

"Elena has just confirmed her will: she died, in the way she has chosen, in the country that allowed her. Tomorrow morning, in Italy, I will go to self-medicate", said the Cappatos, who will go to self-report in Milan tomorrow at 11.

For Marco Cappato this is a new civil disobedience, since the person accompanied is not "kept alive by life-sustaining treatments",
