"Friar kills himself after sex allegations

HOLLIDAYSBURG — Police said a Franciscan friar accused of sexually abusing students at schools in two states killed himself at a western Pennsylvania monastery. An autopsy by the county coroner confirmed Brother Stephen Baker, 62, died of self-inflicted wounds. White said officers were called to St. Bernardine Monastery in Hollidaysburg on Saturday morning after another resident had found Baker not breathing. Baker was named last week in legal settlements with 11 men who alleged he sexually abused them at a northeast Ohio school three decades ago. A Pennsylvania school said it has also received molestation allegations involving Baker (AP)."
