Australian TV host Fiona MacDonald announced her own death in a heartbreaking note after losing her battle with motor neurone disease aged 67. The TV presenter, who posted It's A Knockout and kid's TV show wombat in the 80s, died three years after being diagnosed. She turned down further treatment due to the symptoms.
Announcing her own death in a heartbreaking note, she penned: "Farewell my friends. My sister Kylie is posting this because I have left the building - Hopefully I'm looking down from a cloud. "Last night brought an end to a very tough few months.
Was very peaceful, the boys and Kylie stayed with me to say goodbye." She continued: "While I've never wanted to die, the thought of leaving my tortured body was a relief. The last few months have been tough.
"I made the decision after much soul searching to cease all medical supports and finally go into hospital for end of life palliative care. "When you love life as much as I do, it takes a great deal of courage to make choices that lead to farewell. So let's not call it goodbye as I hope to see you again on the other side.
Until then.".
