Noelia Castillo Ramos, a 25-year-old paraplegic woman from near Barcelona, Spain, died by euthanasia on March 26, 2026, at Hospital Residència Sant Camil in Sant Pere de Ribes, following a request approved in 2024 despite prolonged appeals by her father citing her mental health disorders. The case, rooted in childhood trauma and a 2022 suicide attempt, has reignited debates on Spain's euthanasia law.
Following the European Court of Human Rights' rejection of an earlier appeal, a Barcelona court today dismissed paraplegic Noelia Castillo's father latest bid to halt her euthanasia, scheduled for Thursday at 18:00. The 25-year-old from Barcelona shared her suffering and plans in an Antena 3 interview aired March 25.
