Sharon Osbourne disclosed why she chose not to honor the assisted suicide pact she made with her late husband Ozzy Osbourne.
The TV personality credited their three children with preventing her from carrying out the agreement after Ozzy died on July 22.
"I would have just gone with Ozzy. Oh, yeah, definitely, I've done everything I wanted to do," Sharon said on Piers Morgan Uncensored, per Page Six. "But they've been unbelievably, just magnificent with me, all three of them."
She recalled a time, from years ago, when, at a mental health facility, she saw two women who were severely affected after the death of a parent.
“I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives,” she told Morgan. “And I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.”
Sharon first detailed her pact with Ozzy in her 2007 memoir, Survivor: My Story – The Next Chapter. They intended to go to the Swiss physician-assisted suicide organization Dignitas if one of them developed dementia. Later, in 2014, Ozzy reportedly told the Daily Mirror that the parameters of the pact had grown and now included any “life-threatening condition.”
In July, Ozzy died from a heart attack and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, with coronary artery disease, Parkinson's disease, and autonomic dysfunction contributing to his death. He was 76 years old.
He left behind his 73-year-old wife, Sharon, and his three kids: 42-year-old Aimee, 41-year-old Kelly, and 40-year-old Jack.
