UK man who helped wife go to Swiss clinic to end her life can inherit estate

Judge says forfeiture rule should not apply in case of Philip Morris, whose wife, Myra, had multiple system atrophy

A man who helped his terminally ill wife travel to Switzerland to end her own life is entitled to inherit part of her estate, a judge has ruled.

Philip Morris, 76, with “very great reluctance” assisted his wife, Myra Morris, then 73, when she went to the Pegasos clinic in Liestal, Switzerland in December 2023 and self-administered a fatal dose of pentobarbital.
