By Howard M. Friedman

AP reported Friday that the estate of a priest abuse victim who committed suicide has filed a lawsuit in a Pennsylvania state court against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh alleging that the suicide resulted from the diocese ending payments for mental health treatments of the victim.  39-year old Michael Unglo, abused as an altar boy in the 1980's, had attempted suicide twice before.

The diocese continus to pay health insurance costs and a stipend for the former priest who has been convicted for molesting another boy.
