His body was wasting away, and for much of the time, he was racked by pain that could not be adequately alleviated by an painkilling drugs. As he suffered through his last dying days, he made it clear that he did not desire to live any longer in this terrible condition. John wanted his doctors to “put him out of his misery” by administering a lethal injection of morphine that would quickly and quietly end his suffering by ending his life.
