Marie Fleming’s partner says she died in his arms at home like she wanted to

The partner of Marie Fleming, who lost her battle with Multiple Sclerosis this morning, says she died in his arms.
Tom Curran told the family solicitor that “she died at home, as she always wanted to do.”
Ms Fleming failed in her landmark right-to-die case earlier this year.
The 59 year old Lifford native had challenged the ban on assisted suicide – claiming it breached her constitutional rights and discriminated against her as a disabled person.
The Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore says Marie’s campaign  was brave and courageous – adding that the fact that her case has kick-started a national debate – will be her lasting legacy.
