- Former Unitarian Universalist minister and assisted suicide activist, Reverend George Exoo was a leading figure in the right-to-die movement. In 2008 he stated that he has helped 102 people to commit suicide. But, reports Jon Ronson in this documentary, most of his clients were not terminally ill, just depressed and in need of psychiatric help.
Originally shown on Channel 4 in the UK during May 2008.
He seemed to bully 'his victims' into suicide. He chuckled as he talked about his 'vocation.' I found him repellent.
No self doubt whatsoever. Completely certain of his lifes mission. Scary.
I actually can't believe how horrific Exoo is and I'm only 46 seconds in...
I remember watching this years ago. This was truly bizarre. He seemed to be getting a weird sense of satisfaction out of watching or listening to people dying
First thing he says "If you can't trust a priest, who can you trust" c'mon now
Totally unsettling.
George Exoo died in a hospice in 2015. I wouldn’t like to bet on where he is now.
This is fucking dark and sad. The suicidal people in this documentary are so fucking relatable
That was incredibly shocking. That fraud needs to be in jail for life. Stopped and had a quick google and discovered he died in a hospice in 2015.
This man is a killer oh my goodness this is absolutely criminal
I can't believe he says this: 0:19 He was never ordained a priest. The guy seems a bit touched.
When he said he holds down their hands whilst assisting them. My blood ran cold. Unsettling but nonetheless great doc.
Does anyone know what became of "susan"?
This guy was a Crank of epic proportions
I know he died but what became of the woman ⁉️
anyone know where i can track down the television program "totenham ayatolla?" thats the last thing i need to complete my jon ronson collection.. Its the one where hes with that guy Omar the muslim extremist.
Did you find it? If not it's under the play list titled: "Jon Ronson's Escape and Control"
oh thx but not that one. but I see how you could think i meant escape and control - that one has a guy named Omar Gershon, the one I'm talking about is with Omar Bakri Muhammed, its a documentary he did from around the 'crazy rulers of the world' days. I did discover it on the web, though my digital media skills aren't exactly up to figuring out how to upload it to youtube. I even tweeted Jon about it. www.thedossier.info/video/tottenham-ayatollah-revisited.htm
Thanks, that's the one I've been looking for too!
I thought I'd seen all of Ronson's work but Reverend Death passed me by somehow. Hope you saw the Tottenham Ayatolla one
This?

This is sad .
People who have near death experiences do NOT die so do not know about 'life after death'.
You would think it would be a job that makes you miserable and doubtful. Questioning everyday if what you're doing is the right thing. It should be a task you don't want to do but the patient completely believes has to be done. This priest didn't give me that impression.
Very good doc! Susan, she's a slimeball. The magic potion is Nembutal.

This guy gives me the creeps. Being a Uniterian Pastor means nothing. The fact that the church excepted him as a Pastor tells a lot about the Uniterian Church
To quite honest any church or religious organization should be QUESTIONED at this time of our lives...lWe now know they all are of brainwashing of sorts. I was raised Roman Catholic and it was PURE HELL!
He acted as if he was God, and I believe that he believes he is God. I also saw and believe a few people he actually talks them into suicide. The rules for the authorities to approve assisted suicides, are that the person must have a unbearable condition, untreatable condition, must be mentally sound to make such a decision. They didn’t used to allow it for those who are depressed and wanted to die. The reason is that the person must be of sound mind, and there’s new medicine that comes out almost every week for depression. If one med doesn’t work, then u don’t just give up. You try another medication. You keep on trying until u find the meds that do work for u. This guy makes me sick. He also makes preachers and pastors look terrible.
people should have the right to their lives, but this guys is getting off on this power. what a nut case!!
If there is a call for something there is always someone to answer it,doesent make it right but thats the way of things.
Why does Dr Admiraal first say he thinks Exoo is "too good to this world" and then immediately after that he says Exoo might even "enjoy the death of another one"? At 20:10. Don't these two statements contradict eachother?
I think he might have meant that as another way of saying he's a really simple minded person.
they don't contradict each other - one can be driven to help but also have pathologies one cannot help
I wonder if Judgement is going to be a private event, or if we all stand in line? Wouldn't it be interesting to be in line behind this guy?
Everyone stands before God to be judged. Question is where will You end up?
OMG. What has happened to people 🙏🙏
evil , wicked man . he sounded dissapointed when people wanted to eat food.
I understand the decision to end ones life due to terminal illness. I would do this without a doubt.
Non terminally I'll people is another matter.
I don't mean disrespect, yet it isn't our business. Belgium does provide for people with mental issues but there's criteria that have to be met. Some with mental illness have spent YEARS trying different meds, med cocktails, treatments, etc that have not helped. I totally understand that and if they choose death with dignity, it's their business. There's several videos about euthanasia in Belgium and Switzerland, and these people do not take the idea lightly. It is something they think about and consider at length. Regardless of what a person decides for themselves, I don't quite understand why people think they have the right to stop them. Who are you, or anyone else for that matter, to say that they shouldn't be allowed to end their suffering? How does it affect you or anyone else if a person chooses death with dignity? You can't expect people to believe that you or anyone else is worried about these people being punished by God. It affects you or anyone else who doesn't agree in no way, shape or form, so what makes people think their opinion should matter? You and others will not be around to witness their suffering nor will you be there to witness their suicide if that's their choice. There's absolutely no reason why you are anyone else that disagrees has right to say what they should or shouldn't be able to do.
@@irisheyesofbelfast It doesn't stop there though. Take for instance organ donation. It started as a gift after death. Now its compulsory unless you opt out. Euthanasia is necessary for some people in their search for self determination. However from a legislative perspective, without proper oversight, could be a slippery slope to doctors having a say over your choice to live or die. Family members choosing your fate for nefarious reasons. The state choosing on spurious grounds and reasons. People have a right to choose but people (especially those with mental illness) can be manipulated and deceived by terrible people with their own agendas.
That Suzanne is very creepy indeed.
42:20: "I know you haven't done this before..." What, she's never killed herself before? He's a very silly and a very sick man.
It's called bedside manner, man.
Guy reminds me of Toth the Nazi in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Creepy as hell.
He acts like he is God and I feel he thinks that he is and that he chooses who lives or dies. He doesn’t even care that medication would help most of these people. I struggle with depression and suicidal thoughts all the time. Being disabled, I get depressed all the time. But then I realized my life can still have purpose. I have a medical service dog who not only alerts me to problems, but he is one of my best friends. I have 3 other rescued dogs that I fell in love with and their story. For example, one was sexually abused. When I was called and asked if I had room for her, I knew when I heard her story that she would have her forever home with me. And she’s as happy as can be and loves me as well as my adult daughter (who lives with me) with all her heart, and she loves the other dogs. She’s so happy with a huge fenced in yard to run and play with the dogs. She loves the kitty too. Due to the abuse, she has a damaged hip, so she can’t sleep on my bed with the other dogs and kitty, but she’s on an elevated dog bed right beside me. She nudges my hand throughout the night to make sure I’m still here. So my life has purpose. I also help people who are terminally ill or elderly, to make plans for their pets for when they pass on. And it’s a comfort to those people knowing that their pets will have a home and be loved. So many people want me to take their pets. Obviously I can’t take that many pets unless I move to a bigger property; however, we always find someone they care about or love that wants the pet. So my life has a purpose. Here if I had been selfish and killed myself, I wouldn’t be a part of helping others. I feel that God decides when we will be born, and it’s Gods choice and decision to take us home. This man is literally murdering people. And he is choosing when and how they will die. I’m so grateful that I chose life
Just why would your VILE god have that right ?
He’s a type of John Christie character
The best is Eutanasia,die with dignity and make my on decision,is my life and is my mind,so i decide what to do
Exactly
Perhaps not coerced by a predator.
Christopher Biggins finest role.
Danion said "here's the story".....yep we know mate! 🙄🙄
Pain in death is the cycle to eternal, shorten that process at your own peril.
And to think my dad met this guy...........
+Hunter Jones ...by accident?
No my dad works beside his house. Lol
Omg he's lucky to be alive! This man in the video revels in death! I'm definatly a supporter of those with terminal illnesses who want to end their lives but this man is nuts x
The part about Dannion Brinkley starts at 24:00
Wow, this guy is bizarre and flaky. How the fuck does he keep on getting away with this? And the woman is just a twisted mercenary. Neither of them have any business "helping" anyone.
you can hear the dial tone on the phone on that tape he sent
He doesn't seem very compassionate to me thus far....talking about people whining and making excuses in a state of impatience! WTF?
I can’t help but to think this guy is a closeted serial killer. However It’s a more humane method of serial killing.
I believe in right to die, assisted death. This man should go to prison and the colar he wears is him selling false security along with that video tape. His behavior is wrong on so many parts through this. He holds down peoples hand, he gets to go watch people as their life leave and their lights go out. I have heard serial killer say that. And when he talks that woman through it was hard to watch, when she said she was scared he didn't tell her she doesn't have to do this. He is a sick pycho SOB and the was he talks about the woman on the phone he is showing how sick he is. I need to google and see if that man is in prison.
It's hilarious that the thing that ends up breaking his "spirit" was the 2008 housing crisis
Also he seems like he doesn’t like women
Jon Ronson IS the original Louis Theroux!
How did Dr Death die? What happened to his partner and Susan?
In a care home.
@@matthewstone1362 The care home didn't kill him though...
Assisted Suicide to those who need help.
notice that each story is about a Woman. George and also the person who took over his Practice was Both helping the suicides of Women. No stories or even mentions of helping a man to die. Seems to me that Ronson and the specialist was Right on the Button saying that it was a Sexual thing. George might be gay . But that doesn't mean that there isnt something a Little bit taboo about George`s Feelings to assisting the deaths of women.
i think this is reading far too much into things. it should be clear to you that ronson also had his own agenda for filming and during filming the documentary, which is not a documentary in fact, because it was manipulated and stage managed by ronson, to make george look as bad as possible. george undertook difficult work at great risk to his freedom and received no payment for his services other than the one lady where he had to travel to another country. this was only to cover his travel, someone should do a documentary on how heartless doctors can be when it comes to sympathy for a patient who wants the right to chose to die
Men have a tendency to choose violent and more definite methods of suicide. Women usually do not. Hence the pills, gas etc.
Is he really a Reverend???
Academically, yes. He's a Unitarian and we know by The Simpsons that dessert is an empty bowl of ice cream.
No
Only God is reverend.
@@Goodnewsladiesbiblestudy Ha ha ha carry on in your delusion
This priest is creepy in many ways. So many red flags. Watch how quickly his smile changes at 50:55. He's such a con artist. Or was, don't know. Hope he's gone now.
Creepy
That psychologist was creepier than the reverend lol
As for the doctor he sounds like Shipman
The lovechild of luke skywalker & smeagle
I wish I had this guy for a friend
Louis Theroux who?! Good stuff.
Who was the journalist in this documentary? I swore up and down it was Louis but I have no clue now
@@flipbug8894 Jon Ronson
What do you take?
I think he used gas
Is he in prison now????
I think he died
No he died many years ago in a hospice of cancer .
the real story is at 1:07:25
Eso the sirial killer
this is horrible I'm pro choice to end your life when pain is progressive but alot could have been prevented with this man's 'patients' but if I was ever certain of a thing when I die and do reincarnate (wich I do not believe in but...) I want to come back with this name : 44:44
he sounds like terrence mckenna
Suicide is condemned in the bible......"thou shalt not murder". That includes self murder. And to show that the devil is behind all suicides he says to Jesus when they are on a high pinnacle..."Throw yourself down".......and Jesus says "Do not tempt God".
Sampson committed suicide and he is listed in the faith hall of fame in Hebrews chapter 11. I wouldn't want anyone to kill themselves but the Bible doesn't condemn it.
The Bible says nothing about suicide. Murder is the taking of another life. As Paul said: All things are permissible for me, but not all things are beneficial. Jesus sacrifice on the cross paid for EVERYTHING. The Bible says nothing shall separate us from His love. He doesn't condemn little children at death, why would he condemn a person who is broken and desperate? Please stop putting things in the Bible that aren't there.
Well to be precise murder refers to a person killing oneself ie you murder another person you don't murder yourself. Splitting hairs really, but to say the bible is anti suicide is a push, it's anti murder.
Either way that George came across in a very dr Shipman creepy like manner!! Dying with dignity at a proper center is far more appropriate you can't have someone doing this without even a set of their own guidelines.... George is what unregulation in this field can easily lead to!
sick lal
Came here for Elton John. I need glasses like the rev.
Euthanasia is a sin. Every human being is immeasurably valuable, even if they don't think they are. We must help people who suffer, not kill them.
This man is a murderer and he will stand before God for trying to play the part or God. Judgment has been set and hell be in Hell along with those that chose to end their life. He obviously doesn't read his bible.
I'd like somebody to help me die if I was in constant pain and agony. Keeping people alive against their will whilst they're in whatever state of pain is a form of tortur . You need to be less santimonios and judgemental and more like the imaginary friend you worship. Boo you!
Many people want to die regardless of suffering. Not everyone wants to serve your bizarre religion.
What a person does is between Him, and them. Leave judgement to the judge.
but we put animals down when they're dying. I'm not saying this guy is right but for some people assisted suicide is important to end their suffering
... BETCHA THIS GHOUL IS REPUBLICAN 1:58
This man is pure evil. He is leading Souls to Hell.
People do not have "souls", and there is no such thing as "Hell".
@@TraveleronMywayHome how did you get that idea from athiest's comment? You don't know if there's a heaven or hell any more than anyone else. And it isn't as if we see someone's soul at death.
It is wrong and he is going against biblical teaching and a fraud
george exoo was first and foremost a human being and much lower down on the list, a christian. i dont think he was a fraud. christianity is a form of fraud
Since when has Biblical law been a deterrent for humans? What people do is between Him and them. Leave judgement to the judge.
Not everyone lives by a fictional book written by narcissistic, misogynistic men according to life in their times as a way to control.
He is a very sick and twisted creature and how dare he compare himself to Mother Teresa I refused to watch any more of this
