It was announced on Friday that Noel Conway has died. We send our sympathies to his family and friends at this sad and difficult time.
Mrs Conway said he had died at home on Wednesday after deciding with his family to remove his ventilator.
She said his carers “ensured that Noel had a painless and dignified death, demonstrating empathy and concern for us all”.
Mr Conway who had motor neurone disease campaigned to have the law on assisted suicide changed. He argued that he wanted to decide on the time and manner of his death and that being assisted to die would ensure this wish. His appeal was defeated in 2018.
Baroness Campbell said “We were sad to hear of the death of Mr, Conway but pleased to hear that he died peacefully with his loving family, supported by palliative care. NDYUK campaigns for proper health and social funding and support for people at the end of their life.”
