Swiss authorities investigate death linked to Sarco suicide pod as co-founder is arrested

Florian Willet, co-president of The Last Resort, is in custody in Switzerland following the death of a 64-year-old woman who used the Sarco suicide pod. Allegations of strangulation marks on her neck have raised suspicions of intentional homicide, complicating the case. The woman died on September 23 after activating the pod, which uses nitrogen to induce death. Willet claims her death was peaceful, but the investigation has led to questions about the circumstances surrounding her final moments and the legality of assisted dying practices. As the investigation continues, 120 applicants are reportedly waiting to use the Sarco, highlighting ongoing debates about assisted dying laws in various countries. Willet remains in solitary confinement, with no indication of a quick resolution to his case.
