Euthanasia debate to launch in Canada as man admits to euthanizing his ill wife | LifeSiteNews.com: Stephan Bolton, telephoned The Chronicle Herald before going to the police, and told the newspaper he killed his terminally ill wife Barbara Jean Jollimore-Bolton on January 22.
“I don’t have an agenda. I have a guilty conscience,” he said, then described how he killed his 59 year old wife, who was suffering with Stage 4 breast cancer and in palliative care, with himself as primary caregiver. He said he gave Barbara a lethal injection of two medications — morphine and Nozinan — and would be taking the drugs to the police detachment with him.
Bolton told the newspaper his wife was very depressed, but not in severe pain, and the two had never discussed the possibility of euthanasia. Neither did he ask Barbara if she wanted to die by lethal injection. Bolton said that he has spent the last month living with guilt and now wants to take responsibility for his actions.
