Doctor under criminal investigation
A Dutch doctor who was reprimanded for
administering a lethal injection to an elderly woman with dementia despite her ‘resistance’ is under a criminal investigation, it
was reported in July.
An inquiry into the 74-year-old woman’s
death
in 2016 revealed that the woman,
who had Alzheimer’s, was surreptitiously
given a coffee containing a sedative, and
held down by her family as she struggled
against the injection.
