A 20-year-old woman is believed to have taken her own life in a Fairfield park late Wednesday, and streamed the suicide on Facebook Live.

The nearly six-minute live stream, posted to the woman's Facebook page just before midnight, was audio only. It stopped seconds after a single gunshot rang out.

The young woman's body was discovered about 8 a.m. Thursday by a man walking in the Fairfield City Park, near the post office. Fairfield Police Chief Nick Dyer said the investigation is ongoing, but all signs point to suicide. Detectives have listened to the live stream, and said it corroborates what they've found so far in the probe.

Detectives notified the woman's grandmother of her death, and learned that the grandmother's gun was missing. They believe it was taken from the grandmother's home on Wednesday afternoon when the young woman stopped by to visit.

On the live stream, the woman was crying and discussed the things that have been upsetting her. "I know everybody got their problems in life and they say God going to help you overcome this and God going to help you overcome that,'' she said. "I've been praying. Every time I get close to my goals, they get pushed back. I've got so many emotions running through my body, I don't even know how I feel right now."

"I've just been chillin out here,'' she said. "Me, myself and my Smith & Wesson."

As of 1:30 p.m., it had been viewed nearly 10,000 times.

In May, a south Alabama man live-streamed his suicide on Facebook, drawing concern from law enforcement officials who said they are worried that using the social media platform to showcase violence is becoming a trend.

The incident followed a string of violence streamed on Facebook, including the Easter-Sunday shooting death of a 74-year-old man in Ohio, the streamed murder-suicide of an 11-month-old girl and father in Thailand.

Facebook in April announced plans to integrate real-time suicide prevention tools into Facebook Live in addition to live-chat support from organizations such as the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the Crisis Text Line. "We have a lot of work and we will keep doing all we can to prevent tragedies like this from happening," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has said.

Dyer said the trend is concerning. "I don't know why Alabama decided to spearhead this movement,'' he said. "I don't know what could have been so bad to end like this."

Suicide resources include the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800-273-TALK (8255). Alabama's Suicide Prevention Center provides an online listing of resources throughout the state.
