Daily Mirror – Esther Rantzen’s daughter: My mum should not have to die alone at Dignitas 

Esther Rantzen’s daughter has told the Daily Mirror she is horrified at the thought of her mum flying to Switzerland to die alone at the Dignitas clinic.

Her daughter, Rebecca Wilcox, tells the paper she is horrified at the thought of her mother, who has lung cancer, flying to Switzerland to die alone at the Dignitas clinic. The paper says Dame Esther’s family back her call for a free vote in parliament on legalising assisted dying. Ms Wilcox says: “I don’t want her to die. I certainly don’t want her to go alone.”
