In Syria, A Well-known Priest Takes His Own Life Inside A Church

According to local media, a well-known Syrian priest killed himself inside St George's Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Latakia by shooting himself.

When local police arrived on the scene, the Syrian Ministry of Interior said Hosh (born in 1956) was lying on his back with a gunshot wound to the chest and the gun lay near him.

A gunshot wound to the chest caused traumatic bleeding, according to the forensic reports.

Investigators believe the priest shot himself because he was pressured mentally and socially, as he left behind a note explaining why he did so.
