Battle of wills over sale of Nancy Crick death house Euthanasia advocate Nancy Crick voluntarily ended her life. Picture: Anthony Weate Source: News Limited THE family of euthanasia advocate Nancy Crick is fighting over the money from the sale of the Gold Coast house where she killed herself. The 69-year-old galvanised the right-to-die debate when she committed suicide in the midst of 21 supporters at her home in Burleigh Waters in 2002 after claiming she had terminal cancer. In a video made before her death, Mrs Crick said she had undergone three operations for bowel cancer, but her life had deteriorated to such an extent that "I feel that death would be a blessed relief." An autopsy report showed there was no sign of bowel cancer when Mrs Crick downed the lethal dose of barbiturates. In a twist of events, her son Daryle Crick, 56, who lived in the Burleigh Waters house, died on May 6 this year after a terminal illness. Just weeks before he passed away, Daryle discussed options to end his life with euthanasia campaigner Dr Philip Nitschke on Al Jazeera television. Dr Nitschke told The Courier-Mail last week Daryle opted not to take the drugs. Now Mr Crick's widow, Stacey Ellen Crick, is taking Supreme Court action against the executor of Nancy's will, Wayne Mark Crick - Daryle's brother - over the proceeds from the house sale. In an affidavit filed by lawyers Collas Moro Ross, on behalf of Stacey Ellen Crick, it is claimed Wayne has "failed or refused to distribute Daryle's equal half share of Nancy's estate to Daryle's estate." Court documents say the net proceeds from the sale are being held on trust pending the outcome of the dispute.
