Video Captures Porn Actor's Final Moments

Surrounded by a SWAT team on a rocky cliff, a porn actor suspected of killing a colleague last week moved to the edge of the outcropping and fell some 40 feet to his death, ending a dramatic, daylong standoff with police outside Los Angeles. Video of the apparent suicide captured by news cameras yesterday shows Stephen Clancy Hill clutching a sword and talking to police negotiators, with a crowd of media watching. Hill tumbled down the hillside after scooting to the ledge from a seated position.

Police said Hill had repeatedly threatened suicide in the hours leading up to the fall, which came a day after murder and attempted murder charges had been filed against 34-year-old porn actor. "He was bent on taking his own life," said a police spokesman. "It's very unfortunate. We wanted this to end a different way." Click here for the video. (More Stephen Hill stories.)
