Honolulu police said they have opened a second-degree murder investigation after a doctor allegedly administer a lethal prescription dose to an 88-year-old woman in violation of Hawaii’s assisted death law.
(KHON2 News report)
The Hawaii assisted suicide law requires the person to "self-administer" or complete the act themselves. The Honolulu star reported:
A Honolulu Police Department summary of the case said that on Oct. 15, it was reported to HPD’s Homicide Detail that a woman who died less than a week earlier did not self-administer the lethal prescription.
Police said the investigation found that the woman died at home on Oct. 9 at 5 :34 p.m and that before her death, the doctor “assisted in administering the lethal prescription which caused the female to choke.”
“At one point she motioned for the doctor to stop, but he continued to administer the prescription, ” the police report alleges.
The Hawaii news reports indicate that this is the first homicide related to an assisted suicide death.
There may have been many homicide deaths related to assisted suicide since the law does not require independent oversight of the law. The Hawaii law requires the doctor who approved the death to self-report by being the same person who reports the death.
In this case, there must have been someone else at the death (family member or friend) who reported concerns related to how the lethal poison was "administered" and how the woman had motioned to the doctor to stop.

Thank you for investigating and reporting! Thou shall not kill people, including yourself!!
I don’t understand why we aren’t hearing the name of the doctor. The public has a right to know. I’d like to know names of any doctor that would engage in maid, because they will never provide my care.
I have the same question other than in Canada every euthanasia court case has a gag order
What Does "Every Euthanasia Court Case Has A Gag Order Mean"? What Is A Gag Order-Because First Time I Am Hearing This? Canada Has Become A Insane Place To Live For Vulnerable People-There Is Wayyy Too Much Abuses Going On Everywhere & By Too Many People & Professions!!! The Medical System Is Already Abusing Vulnerable People Of All Ages & Races; The Court Systems Seem To Be Too For The Most Part; The Media Hides Everything Related To All This As Well Which Is Clearly Not Obtaining Citizens Trust In Relaying Accurate Information As We All Know; This Is Becoming A Nightmare For All The Good Souls Out There!!! I Am Sure We Can All Say At This Point We Have Either Been Abused By The Various Systems Themselves Or Know Of A Friend Or Family Member Who Has Been And From The Looks Of It, It Looks Bad Like It Will Keep Getting Worse; There Should Really Be Supports Out There For All Vulnerable People In "ASSISTED LIVING" Because As We Have The Cost Of Living Continuously Increasing, Food Prices Skyrocketing, Housing Costs Extremely High, Renters Paying More For Rent Than Anything Else They Require (Basic Needs, Clothing, Medicine, Food, Medical Care, Personal Hygiene Supplies, Etc...) The Life Becomes Impossible With All These Difficulties As There Is No Real Support For All This; Someone Who Becomes Ill Cannot Afford All Of These Costs & If You Have All The Professionals Pushing It ON YOU To GET KILLED BY THEM WHETHER LEGALIZED OR NOT BECAUSE ITS CURRENTLY NOT LEGALIZED BUT YOU HAVE ALL THESE "EDUCATED PROFESSIONALS" PUSHING YOU TO GET KILLED BY THEM, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN STOP THEM? THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER, THEY ARE ALREADY GETTING AWAY WITH BREAKING THE LAW, SO NOW ONCE IT WILL BE LEGALIZED ALL THE VULNERABLE AND INNOCENT WILL BE KILLED BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SURVIVE IN AN EXPENSIVE COUNTRY WHO FAILS TO HELP THEM SO IT WILL THEN BE AN ISSUE OF EUGENICS REALLY, AND SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST LIKE IN EARLIEST HUMAN HISTORY PRIOR TO ALL THE EDUCATION & KNOWLEDGE WE HAVE ALREADY OBTAINED; There Will Be No Weak People Left To Boss Around And Abuse Anymore, So What Will Happen Then? There Will Be The Power-Hungry People Left To Fight Each Other?
Very revealing, why would the Courts want to silence scrutiny.
The lawyers argue that it is an issue of privacy. But the woman is dead and others should know that the doctor allegedly killed her.
As for the issue of a gag order, you don't need to look too far and then you notice the case in Calgary of the 27 year old autistic woman who was approved for euthanasia but was not sick, the court would not use the names of anyone involved in the case. The case of the man who prevented the euthanasia death of his common law wife, all names were wiped out of the court record. We only knew it was Dr Ellen Wiebe.
