The '''Suicide of Ronnie McNutt''' incident took place on the Facebook Livestream, broadcasted at 9 pm on August 31. The live stream depicts a 33-year-old war veteran, Ronnie McNutt (May 23, 1987–August 31, 2020), playing his favorite game, until he shoots himself in the face with a single-shot rifle and soon dies of a self-inflicted wound. Like [[1444|Gleb Korablyov's suicide live-stream]], it has spread across many social media sites, such as [[YouTube]], Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, and many more. This has caused many controversies, including trolls setting up account impersonations of Ronnie, being used for fraudulent scams, or being used as a bait-and-switch to lure people. | The '''Suicide of Ronnie McNutt''' incident took place on the Facebook Livestream, broadcasted at 9 pm on August 31.

This live stream features 33-year-old Ronnie McNutt playing his favorite game (offscreen). After a while, he gets a phone call from a person he knows (either his ex-girlfriend). After that, he hangs up the call and misfires himself with a hunting rifle (confirmed by his friend in an interview), blowing his brains out with blood splatters on the screen. The full video would stay on his corpse for a few minutes, until officers arrived at his home after someone alerted the department, only seen in the full video. | This live stream features 33-year-old Ronnie McNutt playing his favorite game (offscreen).
