The 22-year-old first tells viewers on the social networking site that his girlfriend had broken up with him and therefore intends to commit suicide.

He tells the camera, 'No one believed when I said I will kill myself – so watch this.'

The young man is shirtless in what appears to be his bedroom as he presses the gun to his chest.

His first attempt fails as the shotgun appears to lock.

Around 37 seconds into the four minute clip, the young man readjusts the camera, takes aim... and fires.

The footage then goes completely black.

Local media reports state he later died in hospital.

Ceren had previously documented his distraught emotions online, posting a Facebook status saying 'feeling broken' along with the words, 'Our love saga would be written, "Behold, the eyes would not cry, half of you is going to tell you now, my hands do without that side''.'

Last month he had also posted on Facebook: 'And now he passed away in peace. Why do you think spring is in the middle of ice. Just shut up and smiled at him, I gave a lesson "That's why darkness. Forgive me, girl''.'

Turkish police have now launched an investigation into the death, which reportedly occurred in Duzici, a town and district in Osmaniye Province.
