Former Studio 54 nightclub owner Mark Fleischman has died by assisted suicide in Switzerland, his former business partner has announced.
The 82-year-old, who owned the legendary New York nightclub in the 1980s, took his life at the Dignitas clinic near Zurich, Switzerland on Wednesday after making the decision some time ago.
He first became ill in 2016 and was left unable to walk and do other things for himself. However, doctors were unable to diagnose his condition.
