(Texas Right to Life) – A Texas man has died after he and his ex-wife reportedly worked together to plan and carry out his suicide.
Joseph Cheffo was found dead in his Odessa home on February 13. Though assisted suicide is illegal in Texas, authorities allege that his ex-wife and primary caretaker, Sarah Regmund, helped facilitate his death after being in contact with Final Exit Network. Investigators say a copy of Final Exit by Derek Humphry was found near his bed.
The book, written for the terminally ill, goes beyond arguing for “the right to die.” It provides instructions. In one disturbing line, it states: “Ugh! The plastic bag! Agreed. Not very aesthetic, but not so bad with a little prior practice to become accustomed to it.” CONTINUE
