Michigan teenager who killed himself criticised by priest at his funeral

Maison Hullibarger, an 18-year-old athlete and honours student from Temperance, Michigan died on 4 December. Speaking to Detriot Free Press, his grieving parents said that Reverend Don LaCuesta would not stop referring to his cause of death and “called him a sinner” during the service held at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Temperance on 8 December. Maison’s father Jeff Hullibarger said it was as if Mr LaCuesta had decided it was the perfect opportunity to make his stance on suicide known.
