The accident occurred on Good Friday
during the staging of the Passion of the Christ in the public square in the
center of Itarare when the actor jumped off a stone to simulate the hanging of
Judas.
Police investigators said Klimeck, who
was re-enacting the scene in which Judas commits suicide after betraying Jesus
Christ, was left hanging for about four minutes before anybody realized what
had happened.
When the actors realised something was wrong, Klimeck was taken down and
found to be unconscious. The Santa Casa de Itapeva hospital has confirmed the
death and a post-mortem examination will take place on Monday
