Swiss Police Make Arrests Over Suspected Death in Suicide Capsule

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

The Guardian 25 SEP 2024

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.

Police in the canton of Schaffhausen, in northern Switzerland, confirmed the arrests, while the public prosecutors office confirmed it had opened an investigation into suspected incitement and aiding and abetting of suicide. A spokesperson said it was also investigating whether other criminal offences had been committed.

Switzerlands interior minister, Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, questioned the moral and legal status of the Sarco Pod, a device that is designed to allow a person inside to push a button that injects nitrogen gas into the sealed chamber. The person is then supposed to fall asleep and die by suffocation in a few minutes.

A German scientist, Florian Willet, is thought to have been the only person present at the womans death. He is one of the leading members of the Last Resort, an organisation responsible for the capsule and the Swiss arm of Exit International, a nonprofit organisation that lobbies for the legalisation of assisted suicide.

It is unclear whether Willet was among those arrested.

He told the Swiss tabloid Blick her death had been peaceful, quick and dignified. The woman had suffered for many years from a range of serious health problems in connection with an autoimmune condition, he added.

The inventor of the Sarco Pod, Philip Nitschke, an Australian citizen, said on X that the woman had had an idyllic, peaceful death in a Swiss forest. The capsule had been used to give her the death she wanted, he added.
