An Indonesian man by the name of Pahinggar Indrawan recorded his suicide live on his Facebook account.
The 1 hour footage shows the man from Jagakarsa in South Jakarta addressing his wife in a final message before hanging himself with a green rope.
“Goodbye dede, I love you, please take care of our children. I am worried,” were his last words before committing suicide in front of the running camera.
Thousands of people were watching the Facebook live stream of his death.
“Love is not just a lip service; true love is something you get when someone loves you until the end of your life,” the man posted on his Facebook account earlier.

The post is believed to be directed at his wife.
“There are two possibilities, either he killed himself out of sadness because he was left by his wife and children or he just wants attention because he showed his suicide live on Facebook,” a police statement said.
Most people commented that he is a coward for taking his life instead of being a responsible father to his children.
“What a crybaby, only thinks about himself instead of his children,” one of the many comments criticizing him said for example.
The wife of the 35 year old taxi driver, Dina Febrianti, was seen crying an apologizing to her children in the Jeruk Purut Graveyard in Jakarta around 1pm on Saturday 18 March, Tribun News Bogor reported.
“Tell papa that you love him, Goodbye Papa,” she told her children in front of his grave.
