Switzerland: Legal suicide has been legal in Switzerland since 1985. To obtain government approval for this type of suicide, known as 'assisted suicide',

A patient who is ready to commit suicide must be suffering from some fatal disease or other such that he cannot return to normal life. There are even some voluntary organizations in Switzerland to help patients suffering from such a deadly disease to commit suicide. 

However, following the mysterious death of a woman who committed suicide last September, the police arrested Dr. Florian Willett, who set up a suicide pod.

On September 23, a 64-year-old American woman succumbed to her death using a 'suicide pod' for the first time in Switzerland. But the police said that when their bodies were examined after their death, the forensic doctor found strangulation marks. 

Authorities suspect it to be a 'deliberate homicide'. This suicide device was introduced by The Last Resort. The method of suicide pods is to allow people to die by passing nitrogen gas into a special sealed chamber.

A woman suffering from severe osteomyelitis in the skull chose to commit suicide. According to reports, for the past two years, they have been suffering from such severe headaches that they could not even go to the bathroom or move. No significant drugs have been found for this disease. According to reports, she opted for legal suicide in Switzerland.

The suicide pod they used was designed by Australian physician and physicist Philip Nitschke. It is used in Switzerland by an organization called The Last Resort. According to the report, she attempted suicide in the presence of Dr. Florian Willet, the president of The Last Resort. woman

He told the police that he was the only one present when the button of the device was pressed and that he opened the machine several times to see if it was working properly and they lost consciousness 30 seconds after pressing the button.

After about two and a half minutes, their bodies were seen to be in pain. This is common in nitrogen deaths. Only after a short period of unconsciousness does the heart stop beating completely. 

However, the scars found on the woman's neck made the police suspicious. Police suspect that they may have been strangled to death when the device did not work properly. However, there are no official post-mortem reports to confirm this.

This may cause similar symptoms on the neck, the report said. Statistics show that between 1985 and 2014, 3,666 people from different countries opted for assisted suicide.
