Sang at his farewell concert, raised $190 million for childrens charity. Traveled to Switzerland and offed himself before parkinsons ravaged him.

An aristocratic death

FWIW, no source on the cause yet. Only thing we know is from their official statement here:

> It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

Do you have a source that he "offed himself" in Switzerland? Did he do assisted suicide in Switzerland?

Is there any proof he went to Switzerland? I heard rumours of him and Sharon having a 'suicide pact' to go to Dignitas but figured it was just rumours.

Doesn't Britain now have assisted dying? Why would he go to Switzerland for that?

  • Could have been physician assisted. Withdraw all meds and then give small increasing doses of morphine. But it really doesn't matter beyond his family and business partners.

  • They passed a law introducing it in a few years' time. There's a statutory system of death panels that needs to be implemented.

    • I'm opposed to medically assisted dying but based on your use of "death panels" I'm assuming you come at it from a different perspective. How is a "death panel" different from businesses deciding who gets food or health treatment?
