, Christine Chubbuck
"In keeping the practice of presenting the immediate and complete reports of local 'blood and guts' news, TV40 presents what is believed to be a television first: in living color, exclusive coverage of an event of suicide" were Christine Chubbuck's last words, before she shoot herself live on television for the first time in history - for everybody to see.
Although the audio may be a few milliseconds late, it is quite understandable.
Chubbuck killed herself due to "an attempted overdose on drugs", she lived from 1944 - 1974.
Rest in Peace, everybody deserves a chance at life.

The more I read about Christine, the more I feel bad for her. She was not only just covering violent crime stories (and that was all her job) but couldn't find a partner, struggling with depression etc. She deserved much better.
[Morbid] Fun fact aswell she wrote a newspaper story about her suicide and mentioned the hospital she believed she would be taken to which actually turned out to be the correct prediction.
Also there is a very slim chance someone might have recorded the suicide since VHS at the time (the year 1974. was expensive as hell for anyone to buy. And I do remember that the manager of the station kept the video tape of the incident and that it wasnt gonna get out at all to give respects to her family members.
