] BOSTON, Massachusetts (AP) -- Patrick McSorley, who said
] he had been molested by defrocked priest John Geoghan and
] was one of the most outspoken Boston clergy sex abuse
] victims, was found dead early Monday, his lawyer said.
]
] The cause of the death was not immediately announced.
] McSorley, 29, nearly drowned in a river last year but
] denied he had attempted suicide.
] ...
] McSorley had been one of the most vocal critics of the
] Boston Archdiocese since the sex abuse scandal first
] broke two years ago.

Part of me hopes that it wasn't suicide that caused the death of such an outspoken, courageous young man. Of course, a homicide would only be slightly less grim.

] ...
] McSorley's lawsuit in the Geoghan case was among the
] first of hundreds eventually filed against the
] archdiocese. The church settled with 86 plaintiffs,
] including McSorley, for $10 million in 2002. Geoghan was
] slain in prison last year.

Yes, even axe murderers have their standards and don't trust the legal system to give pedophiles what they deserve.

Consoling him for his father's death, for Christsake!
