Nancy Cruzan died in 1990 after a prolonged legal battle regarding her end-of-life care. She had been in a persistent vegetative state since a car accident in 1983, and her family sought to withdraw life support. The case became a landmark Supreme Court decision regarding the right to die and the legal standards for withdrawing life-sustaining treatment. Ultimately, she passed away after the court ruled that her parents could make decisions about her care.
