Raid on US 'suicide kit' seller Sharlotte Hydorn, 91

A 91-year-old Californian woman who sells kits to help people end their lives says her home has been raided by federal agents.

Sharlotte Hydorn said they took away her computers, sewing kits and boxes of what she calls "exit kits", the Associated Press reported.

The kits contain a plastic hood that closes around the neck and clear tubing to hook up to a tank of gas.
She made headlines after a man from Oregon took his life using a kit.

The death of the 29-year-old in December outraged Oregon lawmakers who are now working on a bill to outlaw such devices.
