| Fr. Shimsky |
A priest from Lackawanna County recently arrested on drug charges has died.
The Diocese of Scranton confirms the Rev. James Shimsky died Thursday at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. The diocese said Fr. Shimsky had been in a rehab program nearby and was taken to the hospital when he had a medical problem.
Fr. Shimsky went to rehab about a month ago after his arrest on drug charges in Philadelphia in January.
He had been serving as pastor of a parish in Montdale, Lackawanna County.
The Diocese of Scranton posted a statement about the death of Fr. Shimsky on their Website.
