HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. -- WJAC-TV is working to learn more on the details surrounding the death of another friar at the Immaculate Conception Province in Blair County.

The state Attorney General’s Office is investigating the death, which authorities said was a suicide.

The Blair County Coroner told the Altoona Mirror that Rev. David Kaczmarek died at the province’s friary Saturday evening.

Kaczmarek was at the center of an investigation last week, but little details are being released on what the investigation was about.

A second member of the order, Brother Stephen Baker, also committed suice at the St. Bernardine Monastery in January 2013 as claims of sexual molestation mounted against him.
