The US network Fox News has apologised for showing a man apparently shooting himself in the head on live television.
Fox News on Friday was covering a high-speed chase that began in Phoenix, Arizona, using a live helicopter shot.
After driving for dozens of miles into the desert, the motorist stopped and ran on a dirt road. He then appeared to put a handgun to his head and fire.
Anchor Shepard Smith later apologised to viewers for not cutting away. "We really messed up," he said.
"We're all very sorry. That didn't belong on TV."
Phoenix police say the chase may have started with a carjacking.
