‘Strangulation marks’ found after assisted suicide pod fails
Swiss authorities are investigating the death of a terminally ill American woman after she was reportedly found with unexplained strangulation marks, having attempted to use new assisted suicide technology.
The 64-year-old woman was the first to use the controversial 'Sarco suicide pod,' which uses nitrogen gas to induce unconsciousness before suffocating the user to death.
Dr Florian Willet, founder of The Last Resort clinic where the death took place, described it as “peaceful, fast and dignified", and advocates for Assisted Suicide legislation often argue that it saves people from pain and suffering.
However, reports suggest that during the process, the machine failed due to a technical difficulty. Willet was allegedly heard saying to his colleague over video call "She's still alive, Philip", six and a half minutes after the woman had pressed the button to end her own life.
