Disfigured woman who had sought euthanasia found dead
"A French woman with a rare, painful and disfiguring facial tumour who had sought doctor-assisted suicide has been found dead at her home in eastern France, a government official said.
The case of 52-year-old Chantal Sebire had drawn headlines across France and revived a national debate about the right to die.
Sebire's body was found at her home in the eastern town of Plombieres-les-Dijon in the Bourgogne region this afternoon.
The cause of her death was not immediately known, Dijon prosecutor Jean-Pierre Allachi said.
On Monday, a court in the city of Dijon rejected Sebire's request to be allowed to receive a lethal dose of barbiturates under a doctor's supervision.
It refused the request for doctor-assisted suicide because of French law and out of concern for medical ethics."
