Report: Abortionist Dead in Jail of Suicide
A man named in a 30-felony indictment for allegedly doing underground abortions has been found dead in his jail cell, according to a team of pro-life advocates.
Rick Van Thiel, 54, was found hanged in an apparent suicide, Operation Rescue said.
He was being held at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas at the time.
“Van Thiel was arrested and jailed in September, 2015, for conducting abortions and other quack medical treatments out of a grimy trailer in his junk-cluttered back yard. A local news reporter dubbed it the ‘Trailer of Terror,’” Operation Rescue said.
The organization that monitors the abortion industry and advocates for strict limits, explained Van Thiel “was never formally educated, trained, or licensed in the field of medicine.” (Read more from “Report: Abortionist Dead in Jail Died of Suicide” HERE)
