Man Claims "Doctors Murdered My Wife"

Alan Booth says that doctors forced his wife, Sue, to die, by withdrawing food and water for two days, without the family's consent.  Although Sue had battled breast cancer for 7 years, she'd been told her cancer was under control.  (Jersey News; Jersey Evening Post)  Booth says, "The doctors murdered my wife. She didn't die naturally, she didn't die of cancer. She was put on a Pathway which is designed to kill. That was professed to be 'care'."  



The Health Minister says she cannot comment on individual cases - but she does say the Liverpool Care Pathway regime would never be used without the consent of family members.
