Double-Killing in Ormond Beach:
Not Murder-Suicide, But Mercy and Heroism

May 23, 2014 | FlaglerLive | 29 Comments

Umberto Boccioni's 'State of Mind: Those Who Stay,' study (1911).

Shortly after midnight today John Poucher, 89, shot his wife Barbara, 86, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s, then shot himself. The killings will be logged inaccurately as a murder-suicide. The crime is that we live in a society still too barbaric to give assisted suicide and mercy killing its due.
