Suicide on live camera would be a first!

How dare you forget about the best politician ever, Budd Dwyer. Filter even wrote their song "Hey Man, Nice Shot" about that incident.

With one obvious difference: Dwyer was innocent of the charges against him.

I'll have to read up on it again, but if that is the case, why did he kill himself?

As I understand it, he offed himself because he was about to be sentenced to years in prison despite insisting on his innocence throughout the process. Rather than subject himself to the dishonor of the sentencing, he chose to off himself before things were 'final" -- yeah, doesn't make a lot of sense to me either but I don't know what mental state I'd be in after months of the BS he was subjected to. After his suicide, the witnesses against him admitted they had perjured themselves to get lighter sentences for their own misconduct.
