An aspiring Hollywood actor facing sexual assault
allegations put a gun to his head and pulled the trigger while broadcasting on
Facebook Live early Monday morning. Frederick Jay Bowdy, 33, went on Facebook
at around 5.30am and announced to his followers that he was going to end his
life.
A family member from out of state saw Bowdy's
livestream and called the Los Angeles Police asking them to perform a welfare
check. Bowdy shot himself in the head and was pronounced dead at around 6.30am.
As news of Bowdy's grisly death spread, his friends took to social media
expressing shock and dismay at the tragic incident, among them a few who watched
the 33-year-old up-and-coming actor end his life. Facebook user Meco Harden
described in graphic detail Jay Bowdy's final moments.
In another related incidence, a 14-year-old girl
broadcast to a social media platform from her Miami area foster home as she hanged
herself in the bathroom. The Florida Department of Children and Families
offered few details Tuesday about the weekend death-by-suicide of Nakia Venant,
whom police found hanging from the door frame in the bathroom.
One of the girl's friends told the Miami Herald she
saw some of Venant's two-hour livestream on Sunday and called Miami-Dade
police, who responded to her house.
