Alain Cocq, who has been suffering for 34 years from a rare and incurable degenerative disease, said he would find another way to broadcast his death. Cocq, 57 had said he would livestream his death on Facebook from Saturday morning. After Facebook blocked it, he said a new means of livestreaming would be set up within 24 hours. He had written to French President Emmanuel Macron asking that medical professionals be allowed to assist his death. “Because I am not above the law, I am not able to comply with your request,” Macron said in a letter to Cocq, which Cocq published on his Facebook page.
