I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth vs. Michelle Carter is a documentary about the death of Conrad Roy. Conrad and Michelle had fallen in love and shared thousands of text messages over the span of two years, but only met in real life about five times. On July 13th, 2014 Conrad was found dead in his car. When investigators discovered the text messages between these two lovers, it was uncovered that Carter had encouraged Roy to kill himself. Carter has since been arrested for involuntary manslaughter.
