Brittany Maynard, the beautiful young woman who pledged to end her life when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, is dead, according to a report.
The death was confirmed by Sean Crowley, of Compassion & Choices, an advocacy group which worked with her, according to USA Today.
The 29-year-old woman moved to Oregon to use the Death with Dignity Act after she was given the diagnoses of a brain tumor and given six months to live. She took her life as planned on Saturday, according to People magazine.
Maynard became a symbol of the right to die movement when she told the magazine earlier this month that she planned to take her own life on Nov. 1. She later had misgivings about the ordeal.
"If Nov. 2 comes along and I've passed, I hope my family is still proud of me and the choices I've made," she said in a video posted online. "If Nov. 2 comes along and I'm still alive, I know that we'll still be moving forward as a family out of love for each other, and that decision will come later."
Oregon's Death with Dignity Act was enacted in late 1997. As of the end of 2013, 1,173 people have received lethal prescriptions, according to The Oregonian.
