Monday, May 19, 2008

Jack Straw, the justice secretary, has ordered an inquest into 10 suspicious deaths at an old people’s convalescent unit in Hampshire. The patients were among a group of 92 who died unexpectedly after being given abnormally large doses of morphine and other drugs at the Gosport War Memorial hospital. Their relatives believe their deaths were a form of euthanasia. Straw has demanded the coroner’s investigation even though at least seven of the bodies were cremated.
