July 11, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – Vincent Lambert, the disabled man a court ordered to be starved to death in a French hospital, died this morning. After nine days without food and fluids, showing a remarkable will to live despite the cruel death of thirst that doctors had prepared for him, France’s Terri Schiavo departed from this earthly life at 8:24 a.m. on Thursday, July 11. He died of heart failure induced by the malfunction of his kidneys in Reims University Hospital in the room where he had been kept under lock and key for the last six years.
Minutes after his passing, his half-nephew François, favorable to his relative being denied food and water, informed the media that Vincent had died.
Whatever his death certificate will say, Vincent Lambert did not die of natural causes, nor as a consequence of his serious handicap and brain damage. His death was deliberately brought about by a medical decision to deprive him of food and fluids that was approved by France’s highest courts and the European Court of Human Rights.
France deliberately ignored the request from the United Nations Committee for the Rights of Disabled Persons that asked for provisional measures for the end-of-life procedure to be lifted while it examined his case.
The last weeks of Vincent Lambert’s life were particularly distressful for his father Pierre, mother Viviane, and siblings David and Anne, who fought for his life over the last six years. They were given only limited time with their son and brother, alternating visits with Vincent’s wife and guardian Rachel and those family members who were favorable to his death, and only being allowed to approach him one at a time.
Their visits took place under close surveillance and they were promptly ordered to leave each time their visiting hours came to an end.
Contrary to the dispositions of the Leonetti “end-of-life” law of 2016, Vincent was given no deep sedation. During the first days of his ordeal, he cried and moaned a great deal, also showing signs of suffocation, to the horror of his family. Viviane Lambert told LifeSiteNews the procedure was “horrific.”
In a statement, lawyers Jean Paillot and Jérôme Triomphe said:
“Vincent has died, killed for reasons of State and by a doctor who has forsaken his Hippocratic oath. This cathedral of humanity that had been burning for a week under our powerless eyes has collapsed. No account has been taken of the dignity of this handicapped man, [who] was condemned because he was handicapped.
For the first dignity of all is to respect a person's life.
Part of our common humanity has left us today, because this heinous wrongdoing that is shaking the foundation of our laws and civilization affects us all.
The time has come for mourning and silent prayer. But also for meditation on this State crime.”
Disgusting
If it’s ok to do that to this guy does that mean we can starve murderers to death too?
RIP Vincent. May you be in Heaven with our Lord on this day...Amen.
If you are going to kill someone then do it and own it.
Turning them into human jerky because you are a wimp is unacceptable behavior. May they be rewarded according to their works.

He did not refuse food or water it was denied him.
This was out and out murder.
Agreed. Prisoners on death row get faster easier deaths.
“This is happening in the US right under your noses!”
People would be stunned if they knew how often this time of thing was happening in the US and throughout the world without fanfare/notice.
“[H]e (Vincent Lambert) cried and moaned a great deal, also showing signs of suffocation, to the horror of his family.”
Christ mystically re-lived His Passion in the torturous death of this man. His family had to play the role of Mary, John, and the women, standing by his cross, a hospital bed.
He was 42-years-old. The Beast will try to dehydrate and starve Christ’s servants to death at the end of the world for 42 months. His attorney said he was killed for “reasons of State”. As with Christ’s death, so with Vincent Lambert’s death, so with the time of the Anti-Christ, corrupt leaders and States do much evil and they will answer for it at their Judgments.
These people continually show their contempt for lives tehy consider inconvenient, from Terri Schiavo to Charlie Gard to Alfie Evans to Vincent Lambert.
How long before they go after the politically inconvenient? You know they want to.
Paris surrendered to the nazis again. 2 points correct and great line
RIP.
Why? They wouldn’t do that to a dog to end its life if it was suffering.
If this manner of death was as peaceful as they say, liberals have should have no issue with it being a standard method of execution.
Well played sir...well played...
Absolutely right.
It’s as if they’re saying, “Not our fault. It’s his problem if he can’t live without water. We’re not really killing him. It’s his job to survive.”
It’s really demonic, this ‘method’ of execution. God help us all!
The other day I caught a snipped of a new book where apparently the judge in the Terri Schiavo killing bemoans what that case did to him. I switched to another channel.
