The '''Suicide of Ronnie McNutt''' incident took place on a live stream on Facebook, broadcasted at 9 pm on August 31, 2020. The live stream depicted a 33-year-old war veteran, Ronnie Merle McNutt (May 23, 1987 – August 31, 2020), playing his favorite game, until he shot himself in the face with a single-shot rifle and died of a self-inflicted wound while hundreds of viewers were watching. Like [[1444|other]] [[Shuaiby's Suicide|live-streams]], the footage has spread across many social media networks and forums such as [[YouTube]], Facebook, Twitter, Discord, [[TikTok]], [[4chan]], and many more. This incident caused many controversies, such as internet trolls setting up account impersonations of Ronnie, being used for fraudulent scams or as a bait-and-switch to lure viewers, and computer calls being interrupted by users displaying the video. | The '''Suicide of Ronnie McNutt''' incident took place on a live stream on Facebook, broadcasted at 9 pm on August 31, 2020.
