Someone Took Their Role Too Seriously

From the LA Daily News: A Brazilian actor playing Judas who accidentally hanged himself during a scene in "The Passion of Christ" has died. A hospital in Brazil's Sao Paulo state confirms on its website the death of 27-year-old Tiago Klimeck. An autopsy is being performed Monday following his death the previous day. The actor had been in a coma since the accident on Good Friday earlier this month in the city of Itarare. Investigator Jose Victor Bacetti told the G1 news website Klimeck accidentally hanged himself during a scene in which his character Judas commits suicide. About four minutes passed before anyone noticed, believing he was playing his role. Police are examining the security apparatus that was meant to support Klimeck during the scene.

They say for actors to be good, they have to try and imitate the person they are portraying and I think Klimeck went to far.
But, on the other hand, this incident could also be something worthy of the script of  "Murder She Wrote" in which you have some strange murders solved in an hour.
But RIP Mr. Klimeck, you tried to play the part of Judas and you unfortunately, succeeded.
