Woman convicted in Google exec’s death charged in Georgia
Prosecutors in Georgia said they’ll seek to extradite a woman convicted of involuntary manslaughter in a Google executive’s overdose death so she can face separate charges in the deadly overdose of her boyfriend near Atlanta.
Alix Tichelman was deported to Canada after serving a California sentence for giving a fatal heroin shot to Google executive Forrest Hayes on his yacht in Santa Cruz in November 2013.
A Georgia grand jury in September indicted Tichelman on charges of felony murder and distribution of heroin and oxycodone in the September 2013 death of Dean Riopelle, who owned the Masquerade, a popular Atlanta music venue.
The indictment said Tichelman caused Riopelle’s death by giving him drugs while he was drunk.
Court records don’t list a lawyer for Tichelman. A number for her couldn’t immediately be found.
