This has happened before: once was that horrible live suicide of a Pennsylvania state senator in the late 1980s, then in the 1990s a suicide in California after a car chase was broadcast at 3:00 pm...pre empting children’s cartoons.

You’re thinking of the PA State Treasurer Budd Dwyer:

It was the state treasurer, Bud Dwyer. I remember seeing it on the news. And the big news was that people called in to to ask that it be replayed. People may claim to be disgusted, but many have a morbid fascination with this type of thing.
