Heartbroken families campaigning for assisted dying after 'agonising deaths'

Two devastated families have spoken out about the agonising deaths of their loved ones as they campaign for the legalisation of assisted dying in the UK.

Both Dr Jenna Kirtley and Naomi Craven are part of a new Dignity in Dying campaign group.

Jenna's stepdad Ken Yeomans, 58, tragically died of prostate cancer, while Naomi's dad Ray Craven, 70, travelled to a Dignitas clinic in Switzerland from Newcastle at the end of his life - after rapidly progressing motor neurone disease (MND) saw his ability to walk and even speak disappear in a mere matter of months.
