"Suicide pod" death in Switzerland sparks controversy

Police in northern Switzerland said Tuesday that several people have been arrested and a criminal case has been opened in connection with the suspected death of a person in a so-called “suicide pod.” The “Sarco” pod has been in the works for years, but up until now has never been used. The Sarco pods — short for sarcophagus — allow a person to control their death inside the pod by quickly reducing internal oxygen levels. After death, the pod can be used as a coffin.
