Serious repercussions: A US pastor took his own life after he was named and shamed in the Ashley Madison hack.

CHICAGO: A US pastor committed suicide six days after his name was exposed by hackers of the Ashley Madison adultery website, his wife told CNN. 

Canadian police have said that at least two suicides were linked to the leak of 32 million customer profiles from the Canada-based site last month. It’s not clear if John Gibson’s death was one of them as police released no details.
