LIFE DIGEST: Washington reports at least 70 assisted suicides: The state of Washington may already have surpassed Oregon as the leader in legal, physician-assisted suicides. At least 70 Washington residents died in 2011 as a result of taking lethal drug doses prescribed by doctors, the state’s Department of Health reported May 2. The total may have been higher, however. It was uncertain if five other people who died after receiving prescriptions of lethal medication did so after taking the drug. Another 19 people who received the prescriptions died without ingesting the medication.
