MASHPEE – Mashpee Police are investigating an apparent suicide streamed live on Facebook this week.
Authorities were alerted to it on Wednesday, but have not released any further details or the name of the person involved.
Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe said that people sometimes "post disturbing, reckless, sometime criminal acts" on social media.
The D-A said society would be better off if people didn't engage in such behavior.
