61-year-old retired Canadian nurse, Donna, had concussion after a minor car accident. This led to months of mental and physical decline during which she began to restrict her food intake. 

Unable to be seen by a local clinic due to the waiting list, she applied for MAiD and was approved within days on account of her low weight.  Soon after, she was euthanised despite her daughters’ objections that she lacked mental capacity for the decision.
