There have been several incidents in other country about a youg persons committing suicide on "FACEBOOK LIVE".

And last July 3, A young girl named Kian Shannon Sophie Cañares, 21 took a live FB video of herself while she hanged herself at her family's living room in Baranga Kamputhaw, Cebu City.

According to the report, 2 of her cousins  saw the video around past 9 in the evening and they immediately went to her house however it's already too late. They saw her hanging from the ceiling of the house with an extension wire looped around her neck.

Upon hearing the commotion, Cañares’ father Melencio went out of the master’s bedroom and discovered the lifeless body of his daughter.

Near Cañares was her two-year-old daughter who was crying while looking at her mother.

In taking the live video, Cañares used her cellular phone which she placed on a wooden bench—about a meter from where she hanged herself.

The family immediately took down the suicide video and did not inform the police about the incident until it was reported in a local radio station, which received an information from a concerned citizen last Tuesday.

Senior Supt. Joel Doria, director of the CCPO, said the family of Kian Shannon Sophie Cañares did not immediately report the incident to the police, but investigators saw the need to step in and dig deeper into the case.

Sa kasong ito kahit hindi marunong yung nagiimbestiga iisipin mo na kagad na there is something fishy going-on. Kahit na ba very private yung family imposibleng walang makaalam sa talagang nangyari at hindi man lang din sila nagtaka kung bakit niya ginawa ito.

So thank you for the person who reported this matter.

Doria said the investigation was aimed at identifying what prompted Cañares to end her life.

“Basically, what we hope to achieve in our investigation is to determine what led her to commit suicide. It really puzzles us what went wrong and what her problems were,” he said.

Doria said he instructed the investigators to talk to Cañares’ friends, classmates, and immediate family.

“What we have here is a pure suicide case. There is no foul play involved especially that what she did was broadcasted live on Facebook. I hope her family will cooperate in the investigation so that we will know what were her reasons in ending her life,” he said.

The authorities were able to spoke with Melencio father of Cañares and he said that his daughter Kian, the youngest of three siblings, previously tried to commit suicide twice but they were able to stop her.

But recently, he said he did not notice anything wrong with his daughter.

“Kon naa gud na siyay problema, ilo-om lo-om ra na niya. (If she has a problem, she usually kept it to herself),” Melencio told CDN on Wednesday.

Melencio, an employee of the Metro Cebu Water District, said he and his wife were already asleep at that time and were just awaken by the commotion made by Kian’s cousins.

According to Melencio, his wife was still in shock and heart broken by the incident.

Kian, a first year psychology student of the University of San Carlos, has a two-year-old daughter from a failed relationship.

Melencio said his daughter first tried to jump from the second floor of her aunt’s house when she was in fourth year high school, and attempted to hang herself last year.

The same aunt also died after hanging herself years ago, Melencio said.

“Wala man g’yud mi nakakita og signs nga naa siyay problema. Gani, nagkatawa-katawa ra man na siya sa adlaw nga wala pa siya naghikog. (We did not see any signs that she had problems. In fact, she was laughing a day before she committed suicide),” Melencio said.

Days ago, however, Melencio said his daughter mentioned to him about a vision of a man with horns.
“Naa lagi kuno siyay nakita nga naay sungay. (She told me she saw a man with horns),” he said.
Doria said police investigators are conducting a probe on Cañares’ death to find out what went wrong.

“I am sending investigators to their house to get facts about the case,” he said. 

As this case became viral at social media, please see some comments of our netizens:





No one knows kung ano ba talaga yung pinagdadaanan niya, at sana makatulong din yung investigation na gagawin. Yung mga taong kadalasan na nakakagawa nito eh sila yung mga taong nakaranas ng isang matinding depression or karanasan na hindi na talaga nila kinaya.

May your soul rest in peace and our deepest condolences to the family.
