Devastated mum Wendy Duffy ends her life today at Swiss suicide clinic because she cannot live without her only son. Wendy Duffy, 56, a former care worker from the West Midlands, is travelling to the Pegasos clinic in Basel today to end her life. Her only son Marcus, 23, died four years ago after choking on a cherry tomato while asleep on the sofa. Wendy says the grief has become completely unbearable and no amount of therapy or medication has helped. She has paid £10,000 of her life savings for the procedure and said “I want to die, and that’s what I’m going to do. My life; my choice.” Her family support her heartbreaking decision even though they are devastated to lose her. She has asked for her ashes to be scattered at the park bench where she used to sit every night talking to Marcus.

Devastated mum Wendy Duffy, 56, is travelling to a Swiss suicide clinic this week because she says she is too heartbroken to live without her only son. Marcus, 23, died four years ago after choking on a cherry tomato while asleep on the sofa at their home in the West Midlands. Wendy, a former care worker, tried to take her own life once before but survived. She told doctors the grief has become unbearable agony and no amount of therapy or medication can fix it. She has been approved for assisted dying at the Pegasos clinic in Basel and has already paid the £10,000 fee using her life savings. Her family say they fully support her heartbreaking decision even though they are devastated to lose her. Wendy is due to end her life on Friday 24 April. She has asked for her ashes to be scattered at the park bench where she used to sit and talk to Marcus every single night.
