Sex assault victim dies by euthanasia after lengthy court battle with parents

Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old Spanish woman, has died by euthanasia after a lengthy court battle with her parents. Castillo had been seeking the right to die for over a year and a half due to severe and chronic suffering resulting from a sexual assault and subsequent injuries.

Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old Spanish woman, received life-ending medicine in Barcelona. She had pursued euthanasia for over a year and a half due to severe and chronic suffering. Castillo's application was approved by a medical body in Catalonia in 2024, but her father initiated a lengthy legal battle to prevent her from exercising the right. The courts ultimately upheld her right to die. Castillo's case sparked public debate across Spain due to her young age and the circumstances leading to her request. She died on Thursday, with her family deeply disappointed with the outcome.
