News summary

A 64-year-old American woman reportedly died in a Sarco suicide pod in Merishausen, Switzerland, on September 23, leading to an investigation into potential foul play after she was found with strangulation marks on her neck. The woman activated the device, which filled the chamber with nitrogen gas, causing fatal hypoxia, but authorities are now considering the possibility of 'intentional homicide'. Dr. Florian Willet, president of The Last Resort, the company operating the pod, remains in custody nearly five weeks after the incident, as he was the only person with the woman at the time of her death. Chief prosecutor Peter Sticher has raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding her death, particularly the serious neck injuries noted by a forensic doctor. The woman's medical history includes a diagnosis of skull base osteomyelitis, which some suggest could explain the neck injuries. However, no official autopsy report has been released, complicating the investigation.
