Her name was Christine Chubbock, and she died in 1974, the first person to ever kill themselves on live tv. She had done a segment recently where a police officer had told her that people who were serious about suicide put the gun behind their ear or something, and she brought one to work and during the broadcast said something like, "bringing you more blood and guts in living color, you're about to see another first, attempted suicide ".. I don't remember the exact words, but she shot herself and everyone froze in disbelief. It is interesting that in that era before highly televised violence, people just couldn't react, they just were stunned. Nowadays, it probably wouldn't even be considered that horrific...
