The civil case accusing a Franciscan friar of sexually abusing students at Cambria County high school will continue despite the friar's suicide over the weekend.
The body of 62 year old Brother Stephen Baker was found at the St. Bernardine Monastery in Hollidaysburg on Saturday. The cause of death was a self inflicted knife wound.
Baker was named in legal settlements involving sexual abuse allegations at a Catholic high school in northeast Ohio three decades ago, and the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese said it had received allegations of abuse at Bishop McCort High School in Johnstown in the 1990s.
Attorneys for the accusers say that as the school's athletic trainer, Baker abused 20 students while providing treatment for sports injuries.

I would've just posted this on Facebook, but Facebook doesn't allow you to post GIFs (like this little animation).
Maybe the $1.1 BILLION price tag isn't so crazy?
