A Brazilian actor has died after accidentally hanging himself while playing Judas in an Easter Passion play.
Tiago Klimeck, 27, was enacting the suicide of Judas during the performance on Good Friday in the city of Itarare.
The actor was hanging for four minutes before fellow performers realised something was wrong.
Klimeck was taken to hospital suffering from cerebral hypoxia but died on Sunday.
The Passion play was being performed in Itarare, 345km (214 miles) west of Sao Paulo.
Klimeck was re-enacting the scene in which Judas commits suicide in repentance for his betrayal of Jesus Christ.
Police are investigating the apparatus that was meant to support Klimeck. It appears the knot may have been erroneously tied.

I wonder what the understudy must be thinking."Does the rabbit go around or in front of the tree after it comes out of the hole?"

I hearhe got his acting start by hanging around the set.
To: Free ThinkerNY
He thought he had scored a great job when he got paid 30 pieces of silver instead of a handful of Brazilian reals like the other actors.

The guy playing Christ might want to keep an eye on the Roman with the spear.
