National: Son will not be prosecuted over suicide of conductor and wife: Assisted killing case not in public interest, rules DPP: First case since revised guidelines issued
2010
Overview
\"The factor tending in favour of prosecution is that it is clear that both Sir [Edward Downes] and Lady Downes were able to book the hotel room themselves and that, nevertheless, Mr Downes undertook that act. However, the available evidence indicates that Mr Downes's parents had reached a voluntary, clear, settled and informed decision to take their own lives and in assisting them, Mr Downes was wholly motivated by compassion. The deaths of Sir Edward, 85, who had conducted the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and at the Royal Opera House for many years, and his wife, 74, was one of the most high-profile recent cases of British suicides at the Dignitas clinic. Sir Edward was almost blind and increasingly deaf and Lady Downes, a former ballet dancer, had terminal cancer. Captions: Lady Downes, a former ballet dancer who had been married to; Sir Edward for 54 years, had terminal cancer; Sir Edward Downes and his wife wanted an end to their serious health problems
