A British man has been sentenced to more than six years in prison for encouraging a 21-year-old in the United States to take his own life during a video call. Dylan Phelan, 21, was sentenced at Leeds Crown Court after previously pleading guilty to intentionally doing an act capable of encouraging suicide. Court reports say the case involved Travis Dyer, a 21-year-old from Louisiana, who died by suicide after a video call with Phelan and two other men. One account also describes Phelan’s encouragement in connection with a shotgun. In addition to the suicide-related offence, Phelan admitted offences involving extreme and indecent images. He pleaded guilty to three counts of possession of an extreme pornographic image and one count of making an indecent image of a child. The sentencing follows police and court proceedings in the UK. Related reporting also notes that support resources are available internationally, including crisis helplines such as the US 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and Samaritans services in the UK and Ireland.
