Christine Chubbuck was a newscaster in Florida. She committed suicide during a live broadcast in 1974. The only known copy of the footage known to exist is in the possession of an unnamed law firm who refuses to release the film.
Her last words, again, on live television, ''In keeping with Channel 40’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts and in living colour, you are going to see another first – an attempted suicide." She then held a .38 behind her ear and pulled the trigger.
