BBC: Sex abuse accused vicar 'burnt himself to death' at Hawley vicarage
Get Surrey: Father Martyn Neale death: Church of England vicar set himself on fire with petrol amid historic sex abuse probe
"Warm tributes have been paid to Father Neale following his sad passing."
"One of the nicest, hardest working and fantastic people I have met in my life. A man who brought joy to many and was married to his job. That's why he was the only choice to marry my wife and I. I'm genuinely sad to hear of his passing."
"Such a sad story. Father Martin was such a wonderful man. A dear friend to my dad since my mum passed away and conducted the wedding of my son ... in January. He had such a wonderful personality and a lovely sense of humour. Whatever the allegations against him, he will be sadly missed. RIP Father Martin."
North East Hampshire Coroner Andrew Bradley told Father Neale's inquest on Monday (September 11) the allegations had "clearly weighed on him", regardless of whether they were true or not.

I have a problem with all religions NOT looking after the human beings destroyed by false allegations as well as they nurture, cherish and encourage genuine victims of abuse. I met several vicars or priests in prison; deserted by their churches who seem to behave in exactly the way Jesus condemns.
And those who are actually guilty too. The church should (and sometimes does) support them too.
Mine didnt. Even though the perpetrator had been attending since he was a child. They actually banned him from the building.

Oh yes and see the BUNDLING thread from me; police use this to convince the gullible (all of us without time or inclination to examine in depth). I know from personal experience - suicide often is because of the prospect of interview, charge, trial, conviction and prison - to many people DEATH is far preferable to the torture of false allegations and the broken judicial system. Robert Randall killed himself as a direct result of false allegations (we assume - he assured me they were) and the way he was treated and the dread of possible future torture. Water boarding is far preferable over the broken judicial system.
Do read this.
