Abstract
A 35-year-old married male (father of two children) live streamed his hanging in a 3 min 46 s video. He was alone at home when he did this act, after bolting it from inside. The victim live-streamed his suicide probably to send a message to his loved ones, who might want to see him in his last moments as well as to explain, without saying a single word, his state of mind. Analysis of the video and the interview with his brother revealed severe depression. We have also discussed about suicide prevention and medico legal importance of live streaming suicide. Since the general public may be the first to respond to a suicide, the case report's goal is to raise public awareness of the seriousness of such acts.
