Marie Fleming - the woman who lost a landmark "right to die" case this year - has died.
The 59-year-old had suffered from multiple sclerosis since being diagnosed in 1989.
Marie Fleming took her case to the Supreme Court earlier this year - arguing that the ban on assisted suicide breached her constitutional rights and discriminated against people with disabilities.
The Supreme Court ruled against her - saying there isno constitutional right to die or to be assisted to do so.
She is survived by her partner Tom Curran.
