Criminal case opened after Sarco capsule – which releases nitrogen gas at the touch of a button – used in Merishausen

Swiss police say they have opened a criminal investigation and arrested several people after the suspected death of a woman in a so-called suicide capsule.

According to local reports, the capsule, named the Sarco Pod by its inventor, was used for the first time on Monday afternoon in a forest close to the German border in the Swiss town of Merishausen.

The person who died was reportedly a 64-year-old American woman. Switzerland is one of the few countries in the world where assisted suicide is legal, under certain conditions.

    amen. im good for the moment but im over 50 and I have seen some things with folks in the decade ahead. If it get to bad I don’t want to suffer. The time aspect of our timespace goes for like 70 years and yeah some will go for a decade or so longer and the rare few maybe 3 decades but rarer still is those where those decades are enjoyable.
