KOKOMO, Ind. (AP) - A central Indiana man has been charged with assisting suicide for allegedly making a noose for his estranged wife, who later used it to hang herself.
Nicholas E. Ellis of Greentown faces one count of assisting suicide in Jessica Ellis' death. He's being held at the Howard County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
The Kokomo Tribune reports court documents say Jessica Ellis had a history of suicide attempts and told a friend her husband had made a noose for her and put the rope in her vehicle so "she could use it on herself if she wanted to."
The friend said Jessica Ellis' husband reminded Ellis about the noose Dec. 9, the night before her body was found hanging from a rafter at a Kokomo park's shelter house.
