A Minnesota nurse is accused of accessing online chat rooms and encouraging depressed participants to take their own lives. Investigators said the nurse, William Melchert-Dinkel, 47, feigned compassion for those he chatted with, while offering step-by-step instructions on how to take their lives.
Legal experts said prosecuting such a case would be difficult because Mr. Melchert-Dinkel did not physically help kill anyone. In the meantime, his nursing license has been revoked.
