Alain Delon, iconic French actor, decides to resort to euthanasia at 86

Iconic French actor Alain Delon has decided to resort to euthanasia in the near future & asked his son, Anthony Delon, to accompany him to the end

Newsroom March 21 08:02

Iconic French actor Alain Delon rose to fame from films like Purple Noon (1960), Rocco and His Brothers (1960), L’Eclisse (1962), The Leopard (1963), and many others. The veteran actor has recently decided to resort to euthanasia in the near future. Reportedly, Alain has decided to end his life voluntarily. He revealed that his health condition is deteriorating and it no longer allows him to act as he did before.

As per the reports of  RTL, the 86-year-old actor, Alain Delon wants to die voluntarily so that he can escape from suffering any illnesses. Therefore, he intends to resort to the euthanasia procedure in the near future. Euthanasia is the practice of intentionally ending one’s life to relieve pain and suffering. In some countries, this procedure is allowed, whereas, in some, it is prohibited. A number of countries also allow passive euthanasia.

The legendary actor has also asked his son Anthony Delon to accompany him to the end as revealed in an interview to RTL, adding that he refused to “execute” his father. For the unversed, the legend of French cinema and one of the most handsome men in the history of cinema has had health problems in recent years, and in 2019, he suffered a double stroke. He currently lives in Switzerland, where the procedure of euthanasia is legal and permitted.
