The Sarco su*cide pod has been used for the first time, its creators have confirmed, with an American woman aged 64 believed to be the first person to have died in the device in Switzerland. Police in northern Switzerland said that several people were detained on Monday, and that prosecutors had opened an investigation on suspicion of incitement and accessory to su*cide. The Sarco su*cide capsule is designed to allow a person inside to push a button that injects nitrogen gas into the sealed chamber, according to its creators. The person is then supposed to fall asleep and die by suffocation in a few minutes. #news #switzerland #swiss #pod #euthanasia #breakingnews #medical #life
