The first two jabs induced deep sedation and the third most potent one caused cardiac arrest. Noelia’s mum Yolanda Ramos spent last night with her at Sant Camil Hospital before the start of the scheduled 6pm local time procedure designed to "ensure a death without suffering." Her father Geronimo Castillo, who waged a lengthy legal fight to try to get judges to block his daughter’s euthanasia request with the support of a Valladolid-based ultraconservative group called Christian Lawyers, was among other relatives including her siblings and maternal grandmother who arrived at the hospital to spend time with her earlier today.

Noelia, who spoke openly about her decision to end the mental and physical pain she has suffered for years during a Spanish TV interview earlier this week, was alone in the room when she died at her own request apart from the doctor administering her injections.

In an interview broadcast on Tuesday on a programme called 'Y Ahora Sonsoles' on Spain’s national Antena 3 station, after the European Court of Human Rights had backed her euthanasia wish, Noelia admitted: "None of my family support me but the happiness of a father does not have to be above that of a daughter or above a daughter’s life.

"I just want to go in peace and stop suffering."

Revealing how she wanted to leave this world, she added: "I’ve always thought I want to die beautiful.

"I’ll put on my prettiest dress and make-up."
