Body Of First Woman To Use Suicide Pod Has Strangulation Marks On Neck: Police

The body of the 64-year-old American woman, who became the first person to use a suicide pod in Switzerland, has strangulation marks on the neck, the police have said.

Authorities suspect “intentional homicide,” as a forensic doctor found serious neck injuries, which suggests that she may have been strangled.

She died on September 23 in Merishausen after activating a device that releases nitrogen gas into the sealed chamber.

When authorities investigated the body, they discovered strangulation marks on her neck, which has raised suspicions of foul play.

Dr Florian Willet, the president of The Last Resort, the organization behind the capsule, was present at the scene and has been arrested.

According to the Dutch news outlet de Volkskrant, the marks on her neck could be linked to a serious health condition she was going through for two years.

The woman reportedly suffered from osteomyelitis, an infection of the bone marrow caused by bacteria or fungi, which could have caused similar marks on her neck.

Before her reported death, the 64-year-old woman spoke to the news outlet and explained her decision to use the pod.

She said, “For at least two years.

Since I was diagnosed with skull base osteomyelitis.

” The machine she used was designed by Australian doctor and physicist Philip Nitschke, who added her condition was so severe it couldn’t be treated.

The woman experienced intense headaches that on some days, even moving or going to the bathroom was impossible.

Dr Florian Willet, who was reportedly alone with the woman when she pushed the button on the pod, explained it was opened and closed multiple times to ensure it was working correctly.

The woman activated the pod by pressing a button that released nitrogen gas.

According to Willet, she lost consciousness almost thirty seconds after pressing the button.

Two and a half minutes later, he noticed her body was cramping, which is a common response during deaths caused by nitrogen.

He mentioned that, after losing consciousness, it takes a while for the heart to stop beating completely.

Pods inventor, Philip Nitschke said, “Almost immediately, she presses the button.

It is 3:54:46 PM, and she takes a deep breath.

She has received extensive instructions beforehand.

Everything went well.

The woman was calm, everything went according to plan.

It was clear that she wanted this.

” While investigators suggest that the American woman may have been strangled, there is currently no official autopsy report to confirm this claim.
