The case has drawn widespread curiousity, as the method of death, especially in couples, is still rare. According to the Regional Euthanasia Review Committees, euthanasia of couples was first noted in a review of all cases in 2020, when 26 people were granted euthanasia at the same time as their partners. The numbers grew to 32 the following year and 58 in 2022.
