The first person to use the controversial suicide pod dubbed the “Tesla of euthanasia” was found inside with strangulation marks on her neck.

A Forensic doctor present at the scene told the court that the woman had, among other things, severe injuries to her neck.

According to the news outlet, the company president, who was standing beside the woman throughout the event, was heard to tell the pod's designer over video call: "She's still alive, Philip". The comments came six-and-a-half minutes after the user pressed the button to end her own life.
