A defrocked priest accused of sexually abusing children over decades was found dead in his Nevada home with a single bullet wound to the neck.

The name of John Capparelli, 70, was recently published on a list along with 187 other clergy that have been been “credibly accused” of abusing minors in Newark, according to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark.
