Mum’s anger after her son was allowed to travel to Switzerland to die

The mother of Alistair Hamilton says ‘no lessons have been learnt’ after another Brit went to Switzerland to die

The mother of a man who ended his life in secret at a Swiss clinic has said she is ‘angry and heartbroken’ that another family has been put through the same torment.

Judith Hamilton’s son Alastair travelled to the Pegasos assisted dying centre in Basel in August 2023.

Alastair had no diagnosed serious or terminal illness when he died at age 47 without telling his family.
