Four people charged in US suicide ring

Four people have been charged in a wide-ranging investigation in the US into an alleged assisted suicide ring.



Georgia\'s Bureau of Investigation said the four were members of the Final Exit Network, charged with helping a man end his life by inhaling helium.



The Bureau said police in eight other states are now investigating the group.



On its website, Final Exit Network said its a voluntary, non-profit group supporting those who need relief from their suffering today.



The group\'s vice-president, Jerry Dincin, said its volunteers did not actively participate in ending people\'s lives.



According to him when individuals choose to exit as they call it, the group just holds their hand.
