A SUICIDE pod activist has taken his own life after being interrogated over the murder of a woman who died in one of the euthanasia devices.
Florian Willet, 47, suffered a mental health crisis after he was arrested by Swiss Police last year, according to Philip Nitschke, the inventor of the Sarco suicide capsule.
Willet, from Germany, was the director of Last Resort, the Swiss suicide organisation which operated the Sarco pods.
He was also a prominent right-to-die activist.
The director was investigated for aiding and abetting suicide.
As part of the probe, prosecutors investigated whether he strangled the woman, but that was ruled out.
YOU’RE NOT ALONE
EVERY 90 minutes in the UK a life is lost to suicide.
It doesn’t discriminate, touching the lives of people in every corner of society – from the homeless and unemployed to builders and doctors, reality stars and footballers.
It’s the biggest killer of people under the age of 35, more deadly than cancer and car crashes.
And men are three times more likely to take their own life than women.
Yet it’s rarely spoken of, a taboo that threatens to continue its deadly rampage unless we all stop and take notice, now.
That is why The Sun launched the You’re Not Alone campaign.
The aim is that by sharing practical advice, raising awareness and breaking down the barriers people face when talking about their mental health, we can all do our bit to help save lives.
Let’s all vow to ask for help when we need it, and listen out for others… You’re Not Alone.
