MS sufferer who pioneered specialist treatment commits suicide

An academic who pioneered a treatment for multiple sclerosis has committed suicide because she feared being sent to a care home as her condition worsened. Cari Loder, a former university lecturer who had lived with the neurological disease for the past 17 years, killed herself at her by inhaling helium gas that she had ordered over the internet. Police are investigating the circumstances of her death and believe she may have received help to commit suicide from an elderly neighbour, who has been arrested and bailed. Telegraph
