Swiss officials cleared **Florian Willet** after two-month probe into first-ever suicide capsule use. Investigation centered around 64-year-old American womans death in Schaffhausen region

In a ground-breaking case from swiss Schaffhausen region Florian Willet head of The Last Resort group got his freedom after two-months in custody (his detention started in early fall). The case involved first-ever use of high-tech death pod: a sealed chamber with button-activated gas system

The investigation focused on a 64-year-old US woman who used the death-assistance device in sept 2024; local law-enforcement needed to rule-out any wrong-doing. The swiss authorities looked into every detail of this first-of-its-kind case — they found no signs of intentional homicide

The hi-tech pod named Sarco represents new-age approach in assisted dying: its a sealed chamber that lets people control their final moments. This development shows how swiss right-to-die movement keeps working on new methods‚ while staying within legal bounds
