Florida Woman Confesses to Killing Mother After Assisted Suicide Denial

A woman named Martha Jo Blake in Florida admitted to killing her 97-year-old mother, Patricia.

Patricia had health problems like Parkinson's disease and a thyroid disorder.

Martha and her mother had talked about 'death with dignity' with a doctor, but the doctor said no because Patricia wasn't dying from a terminal illness.

Later, Martha suffocated her mother and told the police what she did.

The police found signs that Patricia didn't die naturally, like marks on her face and neck, and bleeding in her eyes.

Martha was questioned and finally admitted to the crime.
