This video has been taken down from Periscope but it has multiple versions on YouTube with suicide portion blacked out.
The New York Times reports:
“The video I am doing right now is not made to create the buzz but rather to make people react, to open minds, and that’s it,” she says in the video.
The local prosecutor has said that investigators are examining her cell phone and trying to get the full footage from Periscope.
It’s also being reported that her relatives describe her as having a troubled relationship with ex-boyfriend and being emotionally fragile.
Periscope is a live streaming app that was bought by Twitter in 2015 and it has more than 10 million users.
