PORTLAND, Ore. – Many posts on social media said that Brittany Maynard, a terminally ill woman who moved to Oregon to take advantage of the state’s doctor-assisted suicide law, had died Saturday.
Sean Crowley, spokesman for the nonprofit advocacy group Compassion & Choices, then confirmed Maynard’s death Sunday. Maynard reportedly joined Compassion & Choices, which is advocating for death-with-dignity laws in several states.
Maynard was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. She moved with her family to Oregon so she could legally kill herself with lethal medication prescribed under the Oregon Death With Dignity Act.
She created a fund in her name to further the cause of states enacting doctor-assisted suicide laws.
