SAN DIEGO, May 26 (UPI) -- A 91-year-old Southern California woman said Thursday FBI agents seized the suicide kits she makes at home and sells by mail.

Sharlotte Hydorn told KNSD-TV, San Diego, agents also took her sewing machine and computer Wednesday.


Hydorn attracted national attention, much of it unfavorable, after a suicide in December in Eugene, Ore. Nick Klonoski, 29, reported to be depressed because of pain, used one of Hydorn's kits, a plastic hood that can be filled with helium from a rented tank.

A bill before the Oregon State Legislature would ban the kit from being sold in the state.

Hydorn and her son sell the kits through a UPS mail drop, KNSD said.

Hydorn said last month Klonoski's mother should be glad he had a pain-free method possible if he was determined to take his life.
