TL;DR Summary

Former Dutch Prime Minister Dries van Agt and his wife Eugenie van Agt-Krekelberg, both 93, died in unison through legal duo-euthanasia, choosing to leave life hand in hand after decades together. The couple, suffering from poor health, passed away in their hometown of Nijmegen, with van Agt having suffered a brain haemorrhage in 2019. Euthanasia is legal in the Netherlands, where individuals can choose death with a doctor's sign-off for "unbearable suffering with no prospect of improvement." While some countries uphold strict laws against euthanasia due to ethical, moral, and religious considerations, others, like the Netherlands and India, have legalized certain forms of it.
