Young woman who survived Brussels airport ISIS attack euthanised after struggling with PTSD

A young woman who survived the Brussels airport terror attack has sadly died after choosing assisted suicide.

Shanti De Corte passed away on May 7 after two psychiatrists approved her request to be euthanised. The 23-year-old struggled with severe depression and PTSD following the ISIS bombing in 2016 that killed 32 and injured over 300.

Shanti was walking through the departures lounge of the Belgian airport in Zaventem on March 22, six years ago, with her school classmates ahead of a trip to Italy when terrorists detonated a bomb. She was just 17 at the time and managed to escape the harrowing explosion, which was followed by two further detonations.
