Tony "Locked in syndrome" Nicklinson is dead

[Shaunbadia]

The man who suffered from "Locked in syndrome" since his stroke in 2005, died today of natural causes after losing a High Court Appeal for euthanasia to end his suffering last week.

I'm glad his pain has finally ended, grim though the situation may be. But it seems quite strange/eerie that he died of natural causes so shortly after having his plea to let doctors legally kill him denied.

EDIT: UPDATE! TURNS OUT HE TECHNICALLY KILLED HIMSELF BY STARVING HIMSELF TO DEATH...HOW HORRIBLE

Holy shit I didn't know he just died! I heard about his story that came out just a week ago! It does sound fishy that he died a few days after being denied the opportunity to end his own life. But I don't care, I'm just glad that the man isn't suffering from something like this anymore!
