Maureen Slough, a 58-year-old Irish woman, ended her life at a Swiss assisted suicide clinic after telling family she was vacationing elsewhere. Her daughter, named next of kin, learned of her mother’s death only when the clinic sent a WhatsApp message confirming the assisted suicide and that Slough’s ashes would be mailed home. Family members say the clinic accepted forged documents and failed to properly notify them, despite previous promises to improve procedures. The incident has triggered calls for government investigation and renewed debate over safeguards in assisted dying laws.
