A BBC presenter may be in trouble with the law for revealing he smothered his male partner with a pillow to alleviate his pain. A legal and moral debate over assisted suicide has sprung up in Britain since an interview with Ray Gosling, 70, a veteran broadcaster, who told a television audience that he and his friend had agreed to assist each other in a suicide pact in the case of either one suffering intolerable pain. He told the BBC: "He was in terrible, terrible pain. I picked up the pillow and smothered him until he was dead. We had this agreement. If it got like that, I would end his life. And that's what I did." Police have said they only became aware of the case after the interview. Nottinghamshire police have said they will now investigate further and decide whether to bring charges against Mr Gosling, who is known as a journalist, author, broadcaster and gay-rights activist. He was an early pioneer of the British gay-rights movement. Assisted suicide is still illegal in Britain and carries a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.
