Brooklyn model announces his suicide as his Facebook status

A thirty-year-old aspiring model committed suicide by hanging himself from the monkey bars at a Brooklyn playground early Friday morning in New York.

Paul Zolezzi, a part-time model and heroin addict, used the social-networking site to announce that he would kill himself.

He wrote a short goodbye in his Facebook status box to his family and friends that read: "Born in San Francisco, became a shooting star over everywhere, and ended his life in Brooklyn...And couldn't have asked for more."

Rather than leave a personal note for someone to find after his death, Zolezzi chose to post it as his Facebook status.

RIP Paul Zolezzi.
