American Family Learns Healthy Daughters Died by Assisted Suicide in Switzerland

Lila Ammouri and Susan Frazier
Lila Ammouri, 54, and Susan Frazier, 49, were reported missing after traveling to Switzerland. The Arizona family later learned that the perfectly healthy sisters had both died by assisted suicide.

Cal Ammouri, the sisters' only surviving sibling, told the Independent that he spoke with his sisters just a few weeks before they went to Switzerland. He said that he was unaware of their plan, and he still doesn't know the full story.

When neither of the women came to work at Aetna Health Insurance on Feb. 15, friends and co-workers feared that they had been kidnapped. This theory was further strengthened by strange text messages that are still assumed to have been sent by someone else.

A Swiss official confirmed details with the Daily Mail. The sisters died together on February 11.

Switzerland's reputation as a country with low restrictions on assisted suicide makes it a destination for death. That reputation gives healthy people around the world the ability to die; even if their impulsive decision is made for strictly emotional reasons.
