'O último abraço' by Vitor Hugo Brandalise

New entry

Vitor Hugo Brandalise

In 2014, 74-year-old Nelson Golla complied with his wife Neusa’s request to die; Neusa was 72 and being fed through a nasogastric tube at a nursing home. Nelson hugged his wife and placed a homemade bomb between them, which killed Neusa and hurt him. The case is reconstructed by Vitor Hugo Brandalise in this book-length investigation, which fomented a debate about old age and euthanasia in Brazil.
