Here's an actual case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramón_Sampedro https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramón_Sampedro > Ramón Sampedro Cameán (5 January 1943 – 12 January 1998) was a Spanish seaman and writer. Sampedro became a quadriplegic at the age of 25 (on 23 August 1968), following a diving accident, and fought for his right to an assisted suicide for the following 29 years. > ... > Sampedro died on Monday 12 January 1998 in Boiro, Spain, from potassium cyanide poisoning.[2] Several days later, his close friend Ramona Maneiro was arrested and charged with assisting his suicide. Sampedro had divided the elements required to complete his suicide into individual tasks, each small enough that no single person could be convicted of assisting the suicide process entirely. Maneiro was released due to lack of evidence. No further charges were ever filed in connection with Sampedro's death. Amenábar (from The Others) depicted the events in a movie (not sure if known outside of Spain). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sea_Inside https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sea_Inside
