Doctor behind notorious Sarco euthanasia pod shows off new 'suicide collar' that kills patients by applying 'pressure' to the neck
UK Daily Mail ^ | 12/20/2025 | IMOGEN GARFINKEL

It's a fresh Monday morning in the quaint city of Amersfoort in the Netherlands, and a group of elderly guests are listening attentively to the words of an Australian physician.

Dr Philip Nitschke, the first doctor in the world to administer a legal, lethal voluntary injection, and the inventor of the controversial Sarco pod, is presenting his latest gadget.

The Australian-born founder of Exit International, the non-profit that provides guidance on assisted suicide, stirred controversy in 2024 when a woman ended her life using the so-called suicide pod, in apparently the first case of its kind.

But undeterred by the negative press and people repeatedly calling him 'Dr Death' - a nickname he doesn't enjoy - Dr Nitschke is as passionate as ever about expanding access to euthanasia.

The 20 attendees are gathered for one of the 78-year-old's 'Exit workshops' that cover, according to his website, legal issues surrounding euthanasia, the physiology of death, and suicide methods such as 'gases', 'drugs and other substances', 'Swiss option (including discussion of the Sarco)', and 'the new Kairos Kollar'.

It's the Kairos Kollar that Dr Nitschke is live demonstrating to his observant guests, but on a plastic mannequin with silver hair, of course.

It works by putting pressure against the carotid arteries and baroreceptors in the neck, cutting off blood flow to the brain and causing the wearer to lose consciousness before dying.

In a post on X, Dr Nitschke could hardly conceal his excitement for the developing technology: 'The Exit Kairos Kollar, an important development in the assisted dying quest…fast, reliable, drug free..and, importantly, unrestrictable!'

The death workshops tend to be three hours, including a tea and biscuit break as well as an extensive Q&A with the euthanasia expert himself.

It’s nice to know that Fauci has found a hobby to keep him busy in his retirement years.

It is called the sleeper hold.

Soon one will be able to buy these devices in the drug store without prescription. They are tantalizing murder weapons.

Why pay for a machine? Just hire a guy to come around and choke you out.

Imagine showing your invention that allows people to choke themselves to death, pretty soon a machine with the ability to put a bullet in your head with the push of a button.

I think a glock can handle that

A rope can do the same thing.

Basically it’s a mechanical “sleeper hold” that doesn’t let go.

I really know nothing about jujitsu, but I was under the impression that if your opponent puts you in a chokehold, it is very unpleasant for the brief time before you pass out. Your body knows that it is in a bad situation and sends alarms to your brain, but you can’t do anything to save yourself except tap out. This thing seems like that, but with no tapping out.
