The sculptor Stanisław Szukalski chose to die this way.

He had had a stroke and was stuck in the hospital knowing that he would never sculpt again due to partial paralysis. He just refused all food and water, and that was it.

I think it is a lot more common than people realize. I had an uncle who did the same.

It must be. I've never heard about this subject before. Seeing all these replies surprised me.
