Phuket - A Thai man has hanged his 11-month-old daughter on a building rooftop before hanging himself in a two-minute

Facebook Live post, local police confirmed to dpa on Tuesday.

Wuttisan Wongthalay, 21, posted the video clip on his Facebook page

late Monday, prompting his wife Jiranuch Trairat, also 21, to alert

police in the southern city of Phuket, 840 kilometres south of

Bangkok.

Police found Wuttisan's body and his dead daughter on the rooftop of

an abandoned hotel in the city, according to a police officer at

Sakhu police station in Phuket.

Jiranuch told police her husband and daughter went missing after they

had an argument about another child she had with her ex-partner.

She added that Wuttisan often physically abused her and had been

paranoid she would have affairs.

Wuttisan was charged with manslaughter, the police spokesman said,

but no legal action will be taken due to his death.
