Euthanasia campaigner Paula Westoby has died at her home.
The 83-year-old Dunedin grandmother made headlines in December 2008 when she had "DO NOT RESUSCITATE" tattooed on her chest.
The outspoken convener of the voluntary euthanasia support group Exit International was a supporter of Sean Davison, who helped his cancer-ridden motherdie.
Exit International founder Philip Nitschke praised Ms Westoby, who died this week, for her work in euthanasia and was saddened to hear of her death.
