A right-to-die activist who was arrested over the first reported use of a “suicide pod” has died by assisted suicide, according to the device’s inventor.
Dr Florian Willet, 47, was arrested last year in connection with the death of a 64-year-old woman. Investigators had detained him on suspicion of “inciting and abetting suicide” and a “strong suspicion of the commission of an intentional homicide”.
