Arrests made after 'suicide pod' used for first time by US woman

Trump says Iran has already made attempts on his life that ‘didn’t work out,’ he’s surrounded by ‘more guns’ than he’s ever seenbacked out while accusing the company behind it of being “heartless” in exploiting her for publicity and trying to get her life savings, according to a report.

The 55-year-old woman, identified under the alias Jessica Campbell, leveled the accusations against the group behind the capsule — Exit International’s Swiss affiliate, The Last Resort — in a letter written at some point before her assisted suicide in July.“If I had known that the deeply heartless people who held my fate in their hands were mainly driven by their own media presence and marketing, I would never have subjected myself to this ordeal,” Campbell wrote, according to the outlet.

Once she arrived, Campbell claimed she was inundated by a “media circus” and was allegedly made to conduct “embarrassing” interviews as publicity for the organization ahead of her scheduled suicide date. When she eventually decided to back out of the arrangement to use the Sarco pod, Campbell alleged the group abandoned her in Zermatt without any money.

The Last Resort dismissed Campbell’s allegations when they first emerged several months ago, saying it was “not plausible” that the organization would exploit those who opted to use their services.
