Fury as 'up to 300 urns containing human remains from Dignitas suicide clinic are found at bottom of Lake Zurich'
|
Scores of urns containing human ashes have been found dumped in a lake near the Swiss suicide clinic Dignitas. One estimate puts the number discovered 30ft down on the bed of Lake Zurich at 300 or more.
The urns bear the logo of a cremation service thought to be used by Dignitas, the controversial organisation where more than 100 Britons have ended their lives.
It is not known if the remains of any British 'suicide tourists' are involved, and last night
Dignitas founder Ludwig Minelli refused to comment.
It is against Swiss law to dispose of a large number of urns without a commercial licence. The crime carries a jail sentence of up to three years and a £30,000 fine.
The urns were discovered by chance when divers from a rescue service were looking for a lost sunshade from one of their boats.
After retrieving 13 urns they notified the Environment Agency and police divers were called in.
One said: 'After 50 we stopped counting. They lay there in a big heap.'
