How is this for a Halloween nightmare? The first person to use the suicide pod in Switzerland was not gently lulled to sleep in death. She was found to have been strangled while still alive in a death trap.
The CEO of the company is in custody due to the botched death.
The woman was a 64-year-old American mother of two. She signed up to die peacefully in a suicide pod in the middle of a forest near a cabin in Merishausen, Switzerland but that’s not what happened.
After pushing the button to start the death process, the door to the pod reportedly opened and shut a few times. Six and a half minutes later, the CEO was heard on a video call saying “She’s still alive, Philip.” He now says that he was confused by the alarm from a heart rate monitor.
She did finally die but a forensic doctor present at the scene says that she had “among other things, severe injuries to her neck.” That’s not supposed to have happened.
According to reports, “After being notified of her death by the two lawyers involved in the project and present at the scene, the police swept the forest and arrested everyone near the Sarco, including a photographer for Volkskrant.”
This is a newly-approved technology in Switzerland. Who is next!?
