A terminally ill man has announced the date of his death on LinkedIn, just days before his plans to travel to Switzerland in order to end his life surrounded by his family.

Simon Binner, 57, from Surrey, said he has plans to die in the Eternal Spirit in Basel on Monday following his diagnosis of Motor Neurone Disease earlier this year.

"My MND accelerated very rapidly. The sawbones initially thought I would last until 2017/2018, but they were mistaken- no worries it's an inexact science" He also went on to say that there was "nothing positive" about his disease.

MND is a neurodegenerative condition where specialist nerve cells in the brain stop working, causing a rapid loss of muscle control. There is no cure yet.

The businessman, educated at Cambridge, also said his funeral will be help next month.
Mr Binner criticised the UK law preventing assisted suicide calling it "nonsense".

Debbie Binner, 51, said her husband's condition was like "waking up to a nightmare every day".
Mr Binner's wife of 14 years said her husband had changed from a "high energy workaholic" with a "huge group of friends" to being unable to care for himself in just "seven months"
