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.
I know it's sad, but...
The actor was hanging for four minutes before fellow performers realised something was wrong.
