Prostitute left Google executive to die on boat: Police

As a Google executive lay dying on his yacht, an upscale prostitute casually walks over him, picks up her clothes and heroin and swallows the last of a glass of wine before lowering the boat's blinds and walking back on the dock to shore, police say surveillance footage shows.

Authorities charged Alix Tichelman, 26, with manslaughter on Wednesday for her role in the death of Forrest Hayes, who was found dead by the captain of his 50-foot (15-meter) yacht last November. Police said the surveillance video from the yacht shows everything that happened from the time Tichelman came aboard to when she left.

Santa Cruz Deputy Police Chief Steve Clark told the Associated Press on Wednesday that Hayes, 51, had hired Tichelman before, and that their November 23 encounter "was a mutually consensual encounter including the introduction of the heroin."

Clark said it appears this might not have been the first time she left someone in trouble without calling police or trying to help. Without elaborating, he said his agency is cooperating with police in a different state on a similar case.

"There's a pattern of behavior here where she doesn't seek help when someone is in trouble," he said.
