# Barcelona court clears path for man's euthanasia 19 October 2026 at 18:23 > Legal proceedings halting the euthanasia of Francesc Augé have been archived after his father withdrew his challenge in a Barcelona court. A **Barcelona** court has archived the case that halted the euthanasia of 56-year-old **Francesc Augé** after his father, **Jordi Augé**, 96, withdrew from legal proceedings. The Vallirana resident, who has suffered four strokes and two heart attacks, may now proceed. The **Generalitat** and the Comissió de Garantia i Avaluació de Catalunya approved the request in August 2024. However, the process was delayed by a legal challenge supported by Abogados Cristianos, leading to a suicide attempt by Francesc in mid-September. The TSJC and Supreme Court confirmed a relative's standing to oppose such cases, which **Dret a Morir Dignament** defended as a right to autonomy. To date, 361 euthanasias have been performed in Catalonia, highlighting the ongoing debate over end-of-life care. #Euthanasia [#Barcelona]() #RightToDie [#Catalonia]() #EndOfLifeCare ## Related news ## [Judge lifts arrest warrants for Carles Puigdemont]() 19 October 2026 at 10:48 ## [Catalan farmers march on Barcelona in protest]() 14 October 2026 at 11:12 ## [Gabriel Rufián to lead ERC list for Barcelona]() 11 October 2026 at 12:19 ## [Catalonia issues maximum red alert for heavy rain]() 3 October 2026 at 13:17 ## [Barcelona supermarket hours for La Mercè 2026]() 24 September 2026 at 13:50
