An actor portraying a suicide bid accidentally slashed his own throat on-stage following a prop mix-up.
Daniel Hoevels, 30, collapsed with blood pouring from his neck after using a real blade instead of the blunt stage knife.
He was taken to hospital after the dramatic scene at Vienna's Burgtheater in Austria.
The audience had been in raptures, unaware the actor was facing his own demise for real.
But when he failed to greet their applause for the show's spectacular special effects with a bow they separated fact from fiction.
Police are now investigating whether the mix-up was murderous.
Sorry guys and gals for the no-show on an update today, busy day. I did bump into this story on my rounds of the news web sites today though and thought I'd share. Kinda scary huh? I'll TRY to update tomorrow with my real update (got a bit of a rant on the go 
) so see you then <3
