A 22-year-old man begged his family to donate his organs in a heartbreaking Facebook Live appeal before killing himself after his girlfriend got engaged to another man.
Shyam Sikarwar, known as 'Raj', also posted a four-page suicide note apologising to relatives before hanging himself inside a temple in the village of Raybha near Agra.

Local residents reportedly found his body inside the temple on Saturday morning after his Facebook Live appeal.
The four-minute long clip shows Sikarwar asking authorities to not take any action against anyone over his death.
'I miss her and can't live without her. I can't bear the fact that she is getting married to someone else,' said the suicide note left behind by Sikarwar.
'The stress of losing her has affected me so much that I lost my job.'
Ajay Kaushal, a police spokesperson from Achhnera, said: 'The victim's body was found hanging inside the temple premises by local residents.
'During the probe, we found out that the victim was unemployed and depressed because the girl he was in love with was getting married to someone else.
'We have conducted the autopsy and handed over his body to his family.'
By the time this report was filed, the victim's profile was deactivated from Facebook by his family members.
A spokesperson for Facebook told MailOnline: 'Keeping people safe on Facebook is our priority and we remove content depicting a death by suicide and anything that promotes or encourages suicide or any other type of self-injury.'
'We also work with organisations around the world to provide assistance for people in distress. Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time.'
