Channel 4 documentary on "Reverend Death"

[White Horse]

Did you see the fascinating and chilling documentary yesterday on Rev George Exoo, the Unitarian Universalism minister and assisted suicide activist.

His activities have a connection to Ireland as the DPP unsuccessfully sought the extradition of Exoo and his boyfriend for assisting in the suicide of Irish woman Rosemary Toole in Ireland in 2002.

The documentary is profiled in an article by the documentary maker in the Guardian;

"In January 2002 it was reported on the Irish news that a woman's body had been found in a rented house in Donnybrook, Dublin. Her name was Rosemary Toole and, police said, she had been suffering from depression. Her suicide would probably have gone unreported were it not for the fact that she'd been spotted at Dublin airport a day earlier, picking up two jolly-seeming Americans at arrivals. The three of them were then seen drinking Jack Daniels and coke at the Atlantic Coast Hotel in County Mayo. At one point - other drinkers later testified to the police - Toole stood up to go to the toilet and did a jig at the table. The next day she was dead and that night the two mysterious Americans, one wearing a dog collar, left Dublin.

The Irish police released the names of their suspects. They were seeking the arrest and extradition of the Reverend George Exoo and his partner Thomas McGurrin, of Beckley, West Virginia, for the crime of assisting a suicide, which, under Irish law, carries a maximum prison sentence of 14 years".

In some states it is legal.

It is frightening how some derranged people prey on the weak and vulnerable.
