On June 25, 2007, The Reverend George David Exoo, an ordained American minister and euthanasia activist, was arrested and jailed by U.S. authorities. He will face charges made against him by the Republic of Ireland for his compassionate presence at the suicide of Ms. Rosemary Toole, 48, in Dublin, Ireland.
The extradition hearing is scheduled for August 17, 2007 in Charleston, West Virginia, USA. If the extradition is successful, it will be the first time in history that anyone has been extradited for their presence at a suicide.
