Dr Florian Willet, the president of The Last Resort and the operator of the Sarco “suicide pod,” is in custody following the suspicious death of a 64-year-old American woman who used the device in Switzerland. The pod is designed to provide a peaceful end through nitrogen-induced suffocation; however, the woman was found with neck injuries that raised suspicions of possible strangulation. Swiss prosecutors are investigating this case as a potential homicide, mainly because the pod’s alarm was triggered, leading Willet to comment to the pod’s inventor, Philip Nitschke, that the woman was “still alive.” As a result, all other pod applications have been suspended during the ongoing investigation.
I’m pretty sure “getting strangled by the CEO” was not the means of death advertised on the brochure.
You had one job!
I mean killing someone with nitrogen in a closed box can’t be that hard. Even if she was still alive after the first trial, why strangle her instead of giving her another hour in there?
Wow. This story keeps getting weirder. What I’ve never understood is why they were doing this in the middle of a forest, in what seems like an illegal operation, and with such shoddy oversight? Is this a real company or not? Even leaving out the latest bit about the strangulation marks, what were they possibly thinking with this stunt?
It’s called hands on mentality, and managers love to brag about it. How down to earth they are.
/S
Thats why the government told them not to use it. Not enough proof of it working as advertised. And they still went ahead and did it anyway because they think they were above the law. Fuck them
