The Sarco suicide 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 'under a canopy of trees' 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 suicide.
The 'Sarco' suicide 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.
Prosecutors in Schaffhausen canton were informed by a law firm that an assisted suicide involving use of the Sarco capsule had taken place Monday near a woodland cabin in Merishausen, police said.
The woman who died in the capsule had reportedly been suffering with 'a very serious illness that involves severe pain' and had wished to die for 'at least two years'.
The Last Resort, the Swiss firm behind the Sarco, said in a statement: 'On Monday 23 September, at approximately 16.01 CEST, a 64-year old woman from the the mid-west in the USA died using the Sarco device.'
It said the co-president of the organisation, Florian Willet, was the sole person present for the death, contrary to police reports.
Dutch newspaper Volkskrant has reported that police detained one of its photographers who wanted to take pictures of the use of the Sarco.

The left is a simply death cult. They love abortion, war, euthanasia, suicide, death panels, etc.
I kind of like the part where the government said the pod did not meet product safety laws.
Yes, a person could DIE in that thing!...................
They could be used in the USA as a method of execution.
With the button on the outside....
That’s how they kill hogs at slaughtering. The hogs go unconscious on a conveyor, where they are then hoisted up with a chain around the back legs, then the throat is cut so they bleed out. The whole room is a chamber of nitrogen or CO2. I used to have to fix the conveyors when something broke. They didn’t flush the room so I could work. I had to put on a space suit with an air supply to work. A confined space permit environment applied. If they flushed oxygen into the room, the Pigs would wake up brain damaged and go helter-skelter, so you did quick fixes and got out.
It's only humane for suicide, if used for capital punishment it would be deemed inhumane
Wow, great dirty jobs story. Tell that one to Mike Rowe.

I could have given her a much better idea involving a stand with Trump materials at a very leftist university (use your head on which ones) where psychopathic leftists would immediately attack her stand. It would work out well for everyone, even many watching it happen on the news.
I have always said this is the way death sentences should be carry out. No more drugs, complications (some legal, some medical), and nitrogen is cheap compared to big pharma. Inmate just goes to sleep and stays that way.

Rosie O’Donnell?
Paging Greg Gutfeld... predictable cut to the beasts of ‘The View’ incoming.
Had family members a friends die a slow painful lingering death they wished for such a thing.
A morphine drip isn’t the answer hearing is the last to go per doctor.
Did she get the full 20 minutes?
Would she get her money back if not?...............
Was the wine a really good vintage?
