Netherlands man is informed of his father's suicide... and then realises he had earlier watched video of his death on Twitter

A Dutch man who viewed graphic online photos and video of a suicide was shocked to learn that the footage was of his own father's death. A group of teenage students were waiting on the platform of a train station in Driehuis, a city about 20 miles to the west of Amsterdam, when a man jumped in front of a train. They then took photos and recorded video of the bloody aftermath and posted it on Twitter.

The footage then went viral and ended up being forwarded to a man who, quite randomly, was the son of the victim. He did not realise at the time, however, that it was his father who had jumped. It was not until a short while later when he was contacted by police that he realised the grisly footage he had seen was of his father killing himself.
