While I can't say I fully agree with her euthanasia decision, I certainly can understand and overlook that little bit of subterfuge, if that in fact is what it was.
re: It’s possible her earlier announcement was a ploy to reduce the media glare at a time when she and her family wanted some privacy.
There was only a media glare because she invited the world into her decision through social media. If she had just wanted to quietly off herself she could have done so and had all the privacy she wanted.
