Coroner highlights traumatic suicides of patients excluded from VAD scheme
They include a patient who ended his life by inflicting a knife wound to his leg.
A coroner is calling for a review of voluntary assisted dying laws after an elderly man, who was excluded from the scheme because he was not terminally ill, killed himself using a knife.
Geoffrey McConachy’s bloodied body was found by his son and a family friend in the bedroom of his house after he had inflicted a 6cm knife wound to his right leg.
