Below is an excerpt from Christopher Lyon’s story of his father’s death. [Lyon pictured right]

"That was the worst day of my life. That day and those moments, in that room, there’s nothing… that compares to it… The provider was sitting beside me, on a couch right next to me, injecting very large syringes of propofol, which looks like milk, and other drugs into my father and taking his life…  A few seconds before, he’d been animated. And then he was a corpse."

In this short, five-minute video, Christopher documents the tragic and compelling story of his father’s unexpected death by assisted suicide. He shares his father’s complex character – a man who loved his family and yet was deeply troubled and struggled with depression.
