TL;DR

Former Dutch Prime Minister Dries van Agt and his wife Eugenie died via legal euthanasia, "hand in hand" at the age of 93 after suffering from deteriorating health. Their deaths are part of a growing trend in the Netherlands for "duo euthanasia", with 29 couples opting for assisted suicide in 2022. Euthanasia has been legal in the Netherlands since 2002 for six conditions, including unbearable suffering and a long-held, independent wish for death.
