A former nurse who went on the Internet and encouraged dozens of depressed people to kill themselves for the “thrill of the chase” was charged with helping a Canadian woman and a British man commit suicide.
After two years of investigation, William Melchert-Dinkel, 47, was charged with two felony counts of aiding suicide under a rarely used law that legal experts say could be difficult to prosecute.
