Actor playing Judas accidently hangs himself

A Brazilian actor playing Judas was seriously injured on Saturday when he accidentally hanged himself during a Bible scene in which his character commits suicide after betraying Jesus.

The actor, identified as Tiago Klimeck, apparently confused which cord he should use, and remained hanging for several minutes during a performance of "The Passion of Christ" in the city of Itarare.



The man's colleagues did not react immediately while he hung unconscious, believing the actor was still playing the role of Judas.

Klimeck was rushed to a hospital, where he remains in serious condition.

As a rule of thumb, any rope that constricts around your neck or cuts off your air supply is the wrong rope.
I'm confused to when he realized he couldn't breathe that he didn't say something...

Reminds me of the person near my town that decided to commit suicide on his front lawn -- on Halloween. It took several days before people figured out he wasn't decoration.

Okay, sooz just depressed me, but not as much as that man that hanged himself in his front lawn was depressed.
