‘Immune-compromised’ woman, 64, uses ‘suicide pod’ dubbed ‘the Tesla of euthanasia’ to end her life — several arrested

A 64-year-old US woman this week became the first person to use a “suicide pod” to end her life — and several people have been detained in Switzerland over the death.
The woman, a Midwesterner who was not named publicly, died Monday afternoon in the portable, 3D-printed chamber called a Sarco, short for “sarcophagus” — and dubbed the “Tesla of euthanasia” — near the Swiss-German border, according to the assisted-suicide group Exit International.
The woman suffered from “severe immune compromise,” the group said.
Switzerland is one of the few countries where foreigners can travel to legally end their lives through assisted suicide, which must not involve a doctor but can include outside help.
But Swiss officials said the controversial pod — which floods its chamber with nitrogen, causing the user’s oxygen levels to plummet to deadly levels — has not yet been approved for use.

Your choice and I would always respect that choice. My choice would differ.

Is this the one advertised on Temu with all of the bells and whistles? relaxing music and on screen nature scenery seems really tranquil.

Does the “Tesla of death” mean being burned alive in a lithium battery fire?

I was thinking the same. I expect Nikola is alternating back and forth in his grave over this.
