Ridgefield Woman Charged In Assisted Suicide Attempt

A Ridgefield woman who investigators say tried to help a relative die via a drug overdose, is now facing charges including second degree attempted manslaughter. 62 year old Katherine Bleach originally turned herself in on a warrant back in July. The incident took place in April when police said she attempted to assist a 65-year-old man in ending his life. Her pretrial hearing had originally been scheduled for Monday in state Superior Court in Danbury, but it was continued until September 7.
