Suicidal thoughts
The British comic TerryThomas has said he had considered suicide as a way of ending his suffering due to Parkinson’s Disease. The actor, aged 72, said in an interview with “Titbits” magazine: “Nobody should have to suffer like this. It’s frightening to say, but often I think I shall have to give in. Often, it seems the only way out is suicide.” Terry-Thomas has been afflicted by the crippling disease for the last seven years. — London.
