SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Federal immigration officials said Friday they were deporting a California prostitute to Canada after she completed a jail sentence for involuntary manslaughter for giving a fatal heroin shot to a Google executive she had been entertaining aboard his yacht.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman James Schwab said a judge ordered Alix Tichelman, 29, deported to Canada because of her felony convictions connected to the accidental overdose death of Forrest Hayes in November 2013. She also pleaded guilty to a felony charge of administering drugs.
Immigration agents arrested her after she finished her jail sentence on March 29.
Schwab declined to disclose Tichelman’s immigration status in the United States or whether she was represented by an immigration attorney.
The San Jose Mercury News reported Wednesday (https://tinyurl.com/kh57ayj) that Tichelman holds a permit to permanently work and live in the United States. The paper reported that Tichelman was raised in Georgia and spent little time in Canada.
