| Annotation | Results of two surveys of relatives and others who knew people who had died are presented, in terms of events in the year before death and their views on the time of the person's death. Those surveyed were identified from death certificates in England. The main focus is on a sample of 3696 people dying in 1990 in 20 health authorities, with supporting analysis from an earlier national survey of 639 people dying in 1987. Variation in people's views about whether an earlier death would have been better is reported, in the context of debate about euthanasia. (RH). |
