ATLANTA (November 9, 2009)—A vice president of the shipping giant UPS who was accused of raping a 21-year-old Indiana University student over homecoming weekend has committed suicide in Georgia, police said.
Mark Samoline, who was with UPS for 15 years and was involved in providing transportation consulting services to clients of the company's supply chain unit, was found dead in a hotel room Friday in Norcross, Ga., an Atlanta suburb.
A police spokesman said Monday that Samoline, 50, placed a bag over his head and ingested helium that he pumped into the bag from a tank.
He died of asphyxiation.
UPS says Samoline was placed on leave after he appeared in an Indiana courtroom last week on a rape charge.
