Terribly sad.
I agree terribly sad but they done what should be available to others, only in a controlled environment.
I have a certain sympathy with the thread of RATTER^^^, clearly they were old people who had uncontrolled bone pain.

Sad, but perhaps understandable.
Question Author
It does bring up the argument of death "on your terms" vs slow and painfull death over a number of months or years. Should people have the ability to prevent this ordeal and in a controlled environment, be allowed to die.
In this case seeing each other in pain and gradually able to care less for themsleves in a care home was too much for them. After so long together one of them was facing the prospect of seeing their partner die and then be alone for whatever time they had left.
It is tragic but I understand.
It must have taken a lot of courage and trust to do this. !
Is it sad? To me it shows they found true love and devotion in life. Would be more sad to end their life in a care home, one going before the other, it's almost like a movie ending. No disrespect meant to the family who must be devastated.
It is very sad. The article seems to imply it was because they didn't want to go into a care home, rather than because of pain? Which makes it even worse, that it was a misunderstanding.
I think it is sad that they felt they had to end their lives in a bloody heap on the ground without a civilised alternative for them.
Agree with Ratter, think it's absolutely horrendous that one is unable to decide when Life has passed it's sell-by date, and allow a relaxed release. Watched my mil pass away, eventually with motor neurone disease and, mom with breast cancer. Absolutely diabolical they weren't allowed to slip away when they wanted.
how all very sad!
It was a dreadful way to die. How tragic that they had no other choice..
