Thames Valley Police said it was ‘aware of reports relating to an apparent case of assisted dying of a seven-year-old boy in 1981’.
Police have said they are “making enquiries” after a mother told how she gave her cancer-stricken son a dose of morphine she believes “did quietly end his life” more than 40 years ago.
The service added: “At this early stage, the force is making enquiries into these reports and is not in a position to comment further while these investigations continue.” “We had watched him brave through all that beastly treatment, we had had him for longer than the original prognosis, so the time was right.”
Ms Cooper, who is now living with her own incurable cancer and has joined assisted dying clinic Dignitas, was asked by the BBC if she understood she was potentially admitting to manslaughter or murder and replied: “Yes.”
