Alan Purdy, 88, is shown in front of a painting of his late wife, Margaret. He sat by while she took her own life March 20; but San Diego County sheriff's deputies determined there was sufficient evidence to support arresting him on a charge of assisting a suicide, a felony. The district attorney's office is reviewing whether to file a criminal charge against Purdy.
