A pair of sisters from Arizona went missing, only for friends and family to later learn the women had both undergone assisted suicide in Switzerland \u2014 despite the fact that both were healthy. Now, people are demanding to know why this was allowed to happen.<\/p>\n

Cal Ammouri told the Independent<\/a>\u00a0that he spoke to his sisters, Lila Ammouri, age 54, and Susan Frazier, age 49, a few weeks before they traveled to Switzerland. He had no idea the purpose of their trip was assisted suicide, and he still doesn’t know the whole story. \u201cNobody else really knows the specifics,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Both Frazier and Ammouri worked in health care \u2014 Frazier as a registered nurse and Ammouri as a palliative care doctor \u2014 and the first red flags were raised when neither came to work at Aetna Health Insurance on February 15. Co-workers originally feared they had been kidnapped and were being held hostage.<\/p>\n

However, shortly before the sisters took their lives, strange text messages<\/a> had caused friends to be concerned. Dr. David Biglari, a long-time friend of the sisters, said the last message was sent the day before they died. Friends now believe the messages were sent by someone else. “Some of the text communications they had, we are certain they were not from them,” Biglari told Fox10<\/a> before news of their deaths came. “They were most likely fabricated with someone else.”<\/p>\n
