A church leader from northeast Colombia committed suicide while on trial for the alleged sexual abuse of minors, the country’s Medical Examiner’s Office said Saturday.

German Restrepo, the founder and religious leader of a pseudo-Catholic church in the northeastern city of Cucuta, was in court to respond to charges he abused his religious authority to sexually abuse at least twelve women and girls.

Restrepo collapsed and died in the courtroom on August 8 after hearing he would have to await trial in jail.

According to medical examiner Carlos Valdez, the religious leader died of cyanide poisoning.

Don't get me wrong. I don't really applaud suicide. I feel for any family he has.
