    RICHMOND -- Detectives say the death of a 19-year-old woman originally ruled a suicide has turned into a murder case after a repentant man who'd watched The Passion of the Christ confessed to killing her because she was carrying his child.

    Fort Bend County Sheriff's Detective Mike Kubricht said today that investigators thought Ashley Nicole Wilson had hanged herself in January. Earlier this month, however, 21-year-old Dan R. Leach of Rosenberg turned himself in after watching Mel Gibson's controversial movie about the last hours of Christ's life and Leach decided to seek redemption, Kubricht said.

    The young woman's body was found by her mother Jan. 19 in her Richmond-area apartment. The Harris County Medical Examiner ruled her death a suicide caused by asphyxia due to external compression with a ligature

    Then, on March 7, Leach, who had known the victim for many years, walked into the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Department headquarters and confessed to killing her.

    Kubricht said Leach told investigators he carefully planned the killing to make it look like a suicide. The suspect allegedly strangled Wilson because he did not want to raise her unborn child or be involved with her anymore, Kubricht said.

    A grand jury indicted Leach Monday and he was arrested the next day. He is being held on $100,000 bond.

    meanwhile, in Brazil...

    LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" has claimed another life.

    Jose Geraldo Soares, a Brazilian pastor who had booked two theaters in a Belo Horizonte shopping mall to watch the film with his family and church congregation, died of an apparent heart attack while screening the film on Sunday, March 21, reports Reuters.

    Halfway through the movie, Soares' wife noticed that the 43-year-old pastor wasn't awake when he didn't reply to a comment she made to him during the film. A doctor in the audience tended Soares, but he was already dead.

    "He was calmly watching the movie next to his wife," says Amauri Costa, a family friend.

    Soares' funeral was held on Monday.

    Soares is the second person to die while watching "The Passion." Peggy Law, 56, died of a heart attack on Feb. 25 in Wichita, Kansas while watching film's climactic crucifixion scene. She was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

    The next episode of South Park deals with Kyle watching the movie.
