"In May 2002, two Englishmen in their mid-30s -- Michael Gooden and Louis Gillies -- met through the suicide group and made a pact to jump off a cliff together in East Sussex. But while Gooden plunged to his death, Gillies changed his mind at the last minute and narrated the episode in a posting online.
Investigators found Gillies' posting and arrested him for violating the country's Suicide Act, which makes it illegal to aid, abet or counsel another person to commit suicide and carries a jail sentence of up to 14 years.
When Gillies failed to appear in court last month, police went to his flat. He had hanged himself."
