A man and a woman have been arrested over claims they could be planning to take a vulnerable pensioner to end his life at Switzerland's Dignitas centre.
They have been questioned on suspicion of encouraging or assisting a suicide.
Officers have asked for an assessment of the "vulnerable" 71-year-old man's mental capacity to determine how able he is to make his own decisions.
Sussex Police said the man, 25 and the woman, 65, both from the Chichester area, had been bailed until October.
The force said officers would be carrying out further inquiries.
In a statement, a police spokesman said: "Police have been made aware of suggestions that a man and a woman from West Sussex could be planning to take a vulnerable pensioner to the Dignitas clinic in Switzerland so that he can end his life."
He said it was an offence to encourage or assist suicide under the Coroners and Justice Act 2009.
Officers were investigating whether any crime had been committed or was likely to be committed if they did not take action, he added.
