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.
Wait, so the device malfunctioned, she didn't die, and then someone strangled her while she was still in the death pod? Holy shit
It's really, really bizarre that almost nobody in that thread is pointing out how utterly dystopian of a concept suicide pods are. Instead there's some r-slur unironically going "Wow this is horrible because it might hinder future suicide pod development and turn people away from this new technology"

@Nightcrawler the suicide pod somehow turns out much worse than expected.
Also:
The horrors of this, if this is all true, is only the second worst of this story, as it's going to throw back all efforts and advancements to allow people to die on their own terms.
"The woman suffering and getting strangled is kinda bad, but think of the backlash this will cause for assisted suicide. That's the real tragedy."

Trans Lives Matter, and that's why maid should be illegal, it will increase the number of successful trans suicides.

I have a distinct memory of an OG Star Trek episode with suicide booths in it. I also learned from Star Trek that it's wrong to steal people's brains and it's wrong to dress up in a toga and claim to be Apollo. So if Starshit says it's wrong then it must be wrong.

Well, at least she was strangled by a white man. Imagine the backlash against peaceful POCs (and muslims) if the janitor had to step in and finish the job, and the clean up job.

I pray they find out suicide is done by Indian thry hired.
But how do you frick up suicide? Flood pod with carbon monoxide or helium. Or take away oxygen.
Put on heart monitor to keep eye on how long they are hanging. Give them some drugs so passing is as peaceful as possible.
I could do this in my backyard with stuff i have around house(except drugs. But i have some old booze)

They probably had an abort button inside to make it "ethical"
probably pressed it too late and ended up mostly brain dead.
The CEO then realized how incompetent they look and took matters into his own hands
