4:17Now PlayingA teen girl in France used Periscope to livestream her suicide. The viewers on the stream did not take her seriously, and she threw herself in front of a train. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A French teenage girl broadcast her suicide live on Periscope via her smartphone, French judicial sources confirmed on Wednesday, in the latest controversy to hit the streaming web application.
Hundreds of horrified viewers of Periscope - which lets individuals broadcast live via mobile devices - could only look on while the unnamed 19-year-old died at Egly, a suburban train station south of Paris, on Tuesday afternoon.
She took her own life minutes after apparently naming an ex-boyfriend she said had raped her before publishing pictures of the act on Snapchat, the image-sharing application, France Info reported.
"Analysis of the telephone and recovery of the video are underway," said a judicial source, adding that the dead girl had "allegedly identified an assailant" during the video before committing suicide. However, the source said that the details of why she took her life were subject to confirmation.”
