Former Dutch Prime Minister and his wife die holding hands through joint euthanasia. They were both 93 years old and had just celebrated their titanium wedding, that is, 70 years of marriage.

Since 2002, euthanasia and assisted suicide have been legal in the Netherlands as long as they are carried out under the supervision of relevant specialists. Dying as a couple is becoming common in this northwestern European country since, according to statistics, 26 died in 2020, the following year the number increased to 32 and in 2022 the record was broken with 58.
