French police are investigating the suicide death of a woman who threw herself under a train Tuesday and live-streamed her death on Periscope. The woman was killed at the Égly station, just south of Paris on the C line of the R.E.R. train system.

The 19-year-old woman's name has not been released. "This person allegedly sent an SMS to one of her close relations, several minutes before her death, to announce her intentions," Eric Lallement, a local prosecutor, said in a statement. "Furthermore, she allegedly made statements to Internet users, via the Periscope application, to explain her act."

The woman is said to have named a person she claims had recently raped her before she committed suicide.

Live-streamed suicides aren't common, but they do occur. Among the first recorded was in 2008, when a 19-year-old Florida man's suicide was broadcast on Justin.tv.

The Periscope video, which had an estimated 1,000 viewers, is no longer available. But some excerpts circulated on the Internet. "The video I am doing right now is not made to create the buzz but rather to make people react, to open the minds, and that’s it," the woman on the video is overheard saying.

"People watching the video chimed in with remarks—including 'We’re waiting,' 'Always a pleasure to see you,' 'Give us a hint' and 'I think it’s fun'—that generally did not appear to take the woman’s distress seriously," The New York Times said.

Twitter-owned Periscope has served up more than 100 million broadcasts since its launch last year, the large majority of which have not been harmful. Last month, however, an Ohio woman was indicted on accusations that she live-streamed the rape of a 17-year-old girl on Periscope. What's more, there have been other unfortunate events streamed via Periscope, including a woman driving while intoxicated, a murderer broadcasting himself from jail, and teenagers committing robbery.
