Roman Catholic leaders are looking for potential abuse victims of a deceased priest who once served at a Toledo high school and who the leaders confirm abused a minor more than a dozen years ago.

The Toledo-Detroit Province of the Oblates of Saint Francis de Sales as well as the Toledo and Detroit Catholic dioceses announced the accusations earlier this week through their websites.

The Blade reported Friday that the Rev. James Roth died in February after taking a high dose of insulin while on a drug study for diabetes.

The newspaper says that Rev. Ken McKenna, provincial of the Toledo-Detroit Province, says Roth left a note admitting to the allegation although the death has not been confirmed as a suicide.
