A British couple, suffering from terminal cancer, have ended their lives together at a clinic in Switzerland where voluntary euthanasia is legal, according to their daughter.
Helena Conibear has said that her parents had done a "beautiful and remarkable thing" after 80-year-old Peter Duff and his 70-year-old wife Penny committed suicide together at Dignitas clinic in Zurich.
Duff, a retired wine consultant as well as co-founder of Wine Guild of Great Britain, and his spouse -- both from Bath -- are believed to have been helped to end their lives last Friday with overdose of barbiturates, the British media reported today.
