A Watford woman is calling for assisted dying to be legalised in the UK after her terminally ill dad died by suicide.
Sarah Crampton watched her father Mark suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease until he took his life in 2020, aged 62, after sharing his wishes to have an assisted death.
Mr Crampton was an ex-police inspector from Radlett and wanted a death which was “quick and painless” as he did not want his family to find him. "He died alone and I feel so sad for him that he ended his life that way as he was a very proud man, but by the end of his life his body had spent six months shutting down."She is appealing to MPs to change the law and help terminally ill, mentally competent adults, like her father, have a better death.
She added:"He would be so proud of everything I am doing to voice the option for assisted dying in the UK. He shared with me that he would have used the option if it was available in the UK. Instead, he had to die alone in a horrendous way."
