Elderly suicide kit maker pleads guilty to tax offense (Reuters)

SAN DIEGO (Reuters) ? A great-grandmother selling do-it-yourself asphyxiation kits from her home in California pleaded guilty on Friday to a misdemeanor tax-related offense stemming from an investigation of her mail-order business.

Sharlotte Hydorn, a retired public school science teacher in her 90s, pleaded guilty to one count of failing to file a federal income tax return for 2010, a year in which investigators said at least five customers used her kits to take their own lives.
