Several arrested in connection with suspected death in ‘suicide capsule’ in Switzerland

Geneva: Police in northern Switzerland on Tuesday arrested several people and are facing criminal proceedings in connection with the suspected death of a man in a new suicide capsule.

This ‘sacro’ suicide capsule is designed in such a way that a person can lock inside it and press a button from inside, which fills nitrogen gas inside this sealed chamber. It is then believed that the person has fallen asleep and dies within minutes due to suffocation. Many companies in western countries are making such capsules.
