British Couple Will Be The First To Use A Double Suicide Pod To Kill Themselves In Switzerland

Posted • September 9, 2024: 86-year-old former RAF engineer and his 80-year-old wife with dementia sign up to be the first British couple to use a double suicide pod in Switzerland. Peter and Christine Scott have decided to use a double suicide pod in Switzerland after Christine was diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia. They have been married for 46 years and want to die in each other's arms using the Sarco death capsule to conclude their long and happy marriage. The pod works by replacing air, which is 21 per cent oxygen and 79 percent nitrogen, with 100 percent nitrogen. This swiftly renders the occupant unconscious and they then stop breathing in a process that takes less than ten minutes.
