Hmmmm. I wonder if anyone is going to step up and take his place.

... my first thought "So, was he assisted ?"

This this a thousand times this. :D Oh, the wonderful irony if that were true :D

Not likely that anyone will take his place - not publicly anyway. If the rumours I hear are correct there are many doctors who will assist in suicide (under very specific circumstances), provided they can do it in a way that gives them plausible deniability.
