A desperate victim of ‘locked-in’ syndrome broke down in tears yesterday after losing his landmark legal battle for the right to end his life when he chooses with a doctor’s help.

Tony Nicklinson had to be comforted by his wife Jane, who said her husband was ‘absolutely heartbroken’.

Mr Nicklinson said he had been condemned by the law to ‘a life of increasing indignity and misery’.
The 58-year-old father of two from Melksham, Wiltshire, is mentally sound but paralysed from the neck down and unable to speak.

For the past seven years he has not been able to move anything apart from his head and eyes following a severe stroke while on a business trip to Athens.
