Swiss policeconfiscated a controversial Sarcoeuthanasia podafter a person died using it for the first time.
The police and the Public Prosecutors Office of Schaffhausen intervened at the scene and confiscated the capsule.

Christine, who is 80 years old, was diagnosed with early-stage vascular dementia.

The method reportedly requires no poison to be swallowed or injected into the veins.
And because the materials Sarco is made of are biodegradable, it can also be used as a coffin.
