Sharon Osbourne On Ozzy Osbourne Assisted Suicide Pact<\/p>\n
This post contains discussion of suicide.<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne died<\/a> of a heart attack at the age of 76.<\/p>\n In the years leading up to Ozzy’s death, his wife Sharon Osbourne was quite public about her claim that the couple had made an assisted suicide pact together. As People<\/a> points out, she first mentioned the matter in her 2007 memoir Survivor: My Story – The Next Chapter, stating that her and Ozzy would seek the Swiss assisted suicide organization Dignitas if either of them ever suffered from dementia.<\/p>\n “I would have just gone with Ozzy. Oh, yeah, definitely, I\u2019ve done everything I wanted to do,” she said, before mentioning that the three children she shared with Ozzy \u2014 Aimee, Kelly, and Jack \u2014 are the reason why she ultimately decided against it.<\/p>\n “They\u2019ve been…unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them,” she said, before going into greater detail about an experience that also made her ultimately decide against assisted suicide.<\/p>\n \u201cYears ago, when I had one of my mental breakdowns, I went into a little facility to help with my head,\u201d she said. “There were two girls over there. They didn\u2019t know each other, but they were in there, each [of their] mothers had committed suicide.”<\/p>\n “I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, there you have it.
