104-Year-Old Scientist Commits Assisted Suicide

A 104-year-old Australian scientist who travelled to Switzerland to end his life committed assisted suicide on Thursday, the foundation which helped him die said.

David Goodall, who had been barred from seeking help to end his life in his home country, did not have a terminal illness but said his quality of life had deteriorated significantly and that he wanted to die. Philipp Nitschke, director of Exit International, said Goodall was declared dead at 12:30 pm on Thursday.
