Emile Soleil murder suspect family's Catholic priest, 85, 'committed suicide' days before the toddler's grandparents were arrested

Father Gilliot frequently expressed his emotional angst during the saga, and allegedly 'took his own life' last Saturday at his home in Aix-en-Provence, it emerged today.



An 85-year-old Catholic priest, Father Claude Gilliot, who baptized Emile Soleil and was close to his grandparents (currently in custody in connection with Emile's disappearance), reportedly committed suicide shortly before the grandparents' arrest. The grandparents, Philippe and Anne Vedovini, are devout Catholics who relied on Father Gilliot for spiritual guidance. Philippe Vedovini is also under investigation in a separate sex abuse case.
