Authorities in Schaffhausen canton, Switzerland, have confirmed the arrest of several individuals following reports of assisted suicides involving a 'suicide capsule.' The arrests came after a tip-off suggested that individuals were aided in ending their lives in a cabin located in Merishausen.
An investigation is currently underway to determine potential charges of incitement and accessory to suicide. The incidents are believed to be linked to the use of a Sarco-brand suicide capsule, developed by the pro-euthanasia group Exit International based in the Netherlands.
