BBC has aired the footage of the very last moment of 57-year-old British father, businessman Simon Binner who took his own life at a Swiss assisted suicide clinic last year.
In the controversial scenes aired by the BBC last night, Binner played a poignant last message to his wife Debbie from his deathbed before turning on the drip that killed him, Daily Mail reports.
The report said that viewers were left distraught by the emotional footage which showed the motor neurone disease sufferer saying goodbye to family and friends before administering the life-ending drugs.
It was said that the BBC had planned to show footage featuring Simon’s lifeless body at the assisted suicide clinic in Basel, Switzerland, but was forced to make last minute changes to the harrowing documentary.
The Corporation decided to edit out footage of his corpse, as well as scenes detailing the drugs he used to kill himself on October 19 last year.
