Akrapovic Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 Despite having requested the procedure, his death was caused by a multi-system failure. The young Dutch Noa Pothoven, 17, whose death caused a stir by being announced on Tuesday as the result of euthanasia endorsed by the laws of his country, apparently died of natural causes, as a result of self-abandonment: he did not want to receive more attention, nutrition or hydration. They practice euthanasia to minors who suffered mental problems The case of Vincent Lambert and the debate on euthanasia in France Controversial cases about euthanasia that have divided the world Hours before her death she had posted on her social networks her desire to die and even suggested that she was living her last hours, after several years of struggles against the emotional disorders derived from the traumatic episodes of her childhood (she was abused at age 11) for a cousin). In his testimony, Pothoven reinforced his desire thus: "I decided to let go because my suffering is unbearable." But according to the journalist Paul Bolwerk, who followed his case for several years, the young woman did ask for assistance to die voluntarily to a clinic in her environment without the consent of her parents, "but her request was rejected." This request and the confirmation of his death led to the mistaken belief that Noa's outcome had been through euthanasia, a news item that took over on Tuesday the headlines of the world's main media, including EL TIEMPO. This taking into account the Dutch norm that allows minors to access this procedure alleging an incurable suffering. It was the Dutch media themselves who came out to clarify that Noa had effectively died due to multisystemic faults in her body, given the diseases that afflicted her, including her depression.
