"Some people post everything on Facebook, including their suicide plans.
That move may have saved John F. McCormack's life, but also left him
facing a rare, if not unprecedented, charge in Wisconsin of assisting a

"McCormack's post last month, and a call to his sister, led police to the Clarion Hotel near Mitchell International Airport, according to medical examiner's records.
"Inside room 380, they found McCormack, 53, on the floor, unresponsive and struggling to breathe. In the bed next to him lay Marlowe Marie Chapman, 29, already deceased.
"Empty pill bottles and several letters were in the room, and an officer described the scene as 'a very organized suicide.'
"One five-page letter by McCormack, addressed to the police, said he and Chapman had decided to end their lives on Jan. 8, after troubles with their living situation and her health issues."
