A handout picture released by "The Last Resort", an assisted dying group, on September 24, 2024 and taken on the morning of September 23, 2024 shows the Sarco pod at the location where it was allegedly used by a 64-year-old American woman who "died using the Sarco device" at approximately 4:01 pm on September 23, 2024, according to a statement by "The Last Resort". Swiss police announced on September 24, 2024 that several people were taken into custody after the controversial Sarco suicide pod was used to end a woman's life. Police in the northern Schaffhausen canton said the capsule had been used on September 23, 2024 at a forest hut, after which several people were taken into custody -- and are now facing criminal proceedings.
