CD, suffering from stage 4 metastatic breast cancer, applied for judicial authorization of a physician-assisted death under the constitutional exemption established in Carter v. Canada (Attorney General).
She also sought a declaration that the physicians involved would not need to notify the coroner.
The court found that CD met all criteria for physician-assisted death, including grievous, terminal, and irremediable suffering, and that she was a competent adult freely consenting.
The application was granted, and a declaration was issued that coroner notification was unnecessary.
