| Anastasia Khoreva |
A 105-YEAR-OLD woman hanged herself after telling her family she was
tired of waiting to die.
Friends said great-great-great-grand
Anastasia Khoreva had been depressed
after being struck down with a lung infection.
The pensioner waited until her
family had left the house then used a clothes line to fashion a makeshift noose
in her bedroom.
Anastasia, from
Darsun, Russia, had lived through the Russian Revolution, two world wars and
the mass executions of communist tyrant Joseph
Stalin.
One neighbour said: "It's a
strange thing to do at her time of life but she used to say she was fed up with
waiting for death — so she wanted to go and meet it".
A family member added: "She'd
tried once before saying she'd had enough, but that time we managed to stop
her.
"This time we weren't so lucky".
