Arthur Koestler and his wife committed a double suicide last week.
(I thought for sure someone else would post this.) He had been active
in some sort of euthanasia society. He was in real bad shape at 77 years
old with leukemia and Parkinson's disease, but his wife was in her fifties.

I have been tempted to post notes of some other geriatric suicides I
have read about. This may get to be quite popular when we baby boomers
find there aren't enough people around to keep care of us.
