Facebook failed to stop the live stream of a father's suicide despite reports of dozens of people warning the platform what was happening. Jonathan 'Bazza' Bailey, 50, posted that he was going to kill himself at 1pm on Saturday before starting a live stream, according to The Sun. More than 400 people are believed to have watched the live stream, some of whom desperately tried to alert Facebook to the situation. Mr Bailey is believed to have written, 'I’m Going to Hang Myself Today', on Facebook before starting a live stream, according to an obituary on The Arts of Entertainment. His daughter, Lucy Bailey, took to Facebook to detail her despair at mental health services in the UK.
