parties say they do not wish to contest Mr.
Traynor’s stated wishes, which are legally documented. She has been interviewed at length several times and police are satisfied that she made every effort to deter Mr. Traynor from his intention (please see her “calendar of adventures” included in the evidence). It should also be noted that Mrs. Camilla Traynor, his mother, who has been a respected JP for many years, has tendered her resignation in light of the publicity surrounding the case. It is understood that she and Mr. Traynor separated soon after their son’s death. While the use of assisted suicide at foreign clinics is not something the CPS can be seen to encourage, judging by the evidence gathered, it is evident that the actions of Mr. Traynor’s family and caregivers fall well within current guidelines as laid out relating to assisted suicide and the possible prosecution of those close to the deceased. Mr. Traynor was deemed competent and had a “voluntary, clear, settled, and informed” wish to make such a decision. There is no evidence of mental illness, or of coercion on any part. Mr. Traynor had indicated unequivocally that he wished to commit suicide. Mr. Traynor’s disability was severe and incurable. The actions of those accompanying Mr. Traynor were of only minor assistance or influence. The actions of those accompanying Mr. Traynor may be characterized as reluctant assistance in the face of a determined wish on the part of the victim. All parties involved have offered every assistance to the police investigating this case. Given these facts as outlined, the previous good character of all parties, and the evidence enclosed, I would advise that it does not serve the public interest to pursue a prosecution in this case. I suggest that if and when any public statement is made to this effect, the Director of Public Prosecutions makes it clear that the Traynor case sets no kind of precedent, and that the CPS will continue to judge each case on its individual merits and circumstances.
