Actor playing Judas on stage dies after accidental hanging in ‘The Passion of Christ’

A Brazilian actor playing Judas who accidentally hanged himself during a scene in “The Passion of Christ” has died.

A hospital in Brazil’s Sao Paulo state confirms on its website the death of 27-year-old Tiago Klimeck. An autopsy is being performed Monday following his death the previous day.

The actor had been in a coma since the accident on Good Friday earlier this month in the city of Itarare.

Investigator Jose Victor Bacetti told the G1 news website Klimeck accidentally hanged himself during a scene in which his character Judas commits suicide. About four minutes passed before anyone noticed, believing he was playing his role.
