Description

German entertainment duo, Alice and Ellen Kessler, passed away together in a joint assisted suicide, following their long-standing wish to die on the same day. The sisters, who rose to fame in the 1950s and found success in Italy and America, were members of the German Society for Humane Dying for over a year before making their final decision. The organization emphasized that their choice was thoughtful, consistent, and not impulsive, following a 2020 constitutional court ruling that affirmed an individuals right to assisted dying in Germany.
