“Swiss prosecutors said a right-to-die activist was released Monday after more than two months in police custody over the reported first use of a so-called ‘suicide capsule,’ after they ruled out the possibility of an intentional homicide. Florian Willet, head of advocacy group The Last Resort, was released by authorities in the northern Schaffhausen region, where a 64-year-old U.S. woman in late September was said to be the first user of the Sarco suicide capsule, a sealed chamber that releases gas at the press of a button. Authorities detained four people, but initially only released three of them — holding Willet on suspicion that the woman, who was not identified, might not have committed suicide but could have been killed.” (12/03/24)
