A UK man who lost his court battle last week for the right to end his life legally at a time of his choosing has died at his home.

Tony Nicklinson from Wiltshire suffered from locked-in syndrome.

The 58-year-old was paralysed from the neck down in 2005 after a stroke.

Judges said it would be illegal for a doctor to help him die and his only option would be to die from starvation.
