Actor and director Arnaud Denis, left severely disabled after the insertion of an anti-hernia implant, chose to end his life by euthanasia in Belgium on Tuesday at the age of 43 to put a stop to his suffering, his lawyer Philippe Courtois told AFP.
"The decision taken by Arnaud Denis was made in consultation with three doctors in Namur. His body could no longer carry him. He had lost control of it. Arnaud Denis’s death is the consequence of the intense pain he had been enduring for many months," he added.
