Gore video warning

There has been a video circulating across the internet (primarily Facebook and TikTok, though it's seeping into Twitter and Discord too) since iy was streamed on Facebook, and it contains a rather graphic suicide. Since the internet is full of pricks, it had since been reposted ad nauseam.
If you see a video that has the image above as its first frame, do not play the video. Turn off autoplay on Twitter and change your Discord settings to scan all messages, and avoid servers. As for Facebook and TikTok I'd just tell you to abandon those entirely for a few days.
I will say that I have hunted down and watched the video myself out of morbid curiosity, and it didn't impact me since I have been desensitized to gore since I was a kid. However, I know many people who are not able to stomach graphic content - and as a result I advise you to avoid the video.
If you really are curious, I'm going to give the briefest description possible; the man pictured attempts to call someone, then shoots himself through the chin with a noticeably high caliber rifle. I cannot say any more without potentially setting off triggers; if you want to figure out the details, you'll have to hunt it yourself, and even then you'd probably wish you hadn't.
I will also not give any details of the person in the video, for the sake of respecting the dead. He was not someone I knew but upon looking into it, it is very clear that he and his family have had a very troublesome life, and as such I give my greatest condolences to those around him. I hope they can recover from this, and I hope that the man is at rest.
Once again please avoid this video, as its constant reposting is downright disrespectful to this person's loved ones. I am in no way surprised this has transpired the way it has, since there have been a few livestreamed suicides in the past (one of which I've seen before), and the response was almost the same. Since again - internet is full of fuckshits.
But yes, that's it. If you see this video anywhere in any site you regular, avoid it quickly. You will thank me.
Indeed, again I didn't know him personally but I really wish things could've worked out for him and his family.
I also hope and wish for the best for his family and friends. They never should witness a loved one's suicide, especially not like this.
