A priest in the USA under investigation for inappropriate behavior with a minor jumped from a Chicago high-rise building and plummeted to his death in a successful attempt at suicide.
The priest, James Csaszar, jumped from a hotel in the midwestern city’s downtown area on Wednesday. At first the body was not identified by the authorities. The Catholic Church however confirmed Csaszar’s suicide on Thursday.
For the last month James Csaszar, 44-years-old, had been on administrative leave from his job in the church in Colombus, Ohio. The Diocese of Columbus declared that the case was due to “excessive and questionable text and telephone communications with a minor and potential misuse of church funds.”
