A Brazilian actor playing Judas who accidentally hanged himself during a scene in "The Passion of Christ" has died.
A hospital in Brazil's Sao Paulo state confirms on its website the death of 27-year-old Tiago Klimeck. An autopsy is being performed Monday following his death the previous day.
The actor had been in a coma since the accident on Good Friday earlier this month in the city of Itarare.

I remember that as well, because when the theater I was with proposed doing the play, no one wanted the part, that's when someone produced a list of death.
So I found where Snopes had printed it out as well.

Another interesting bit of trivia. A church in NC had twelve trees named for the twelve apostles, and the Judas tree was struck by lightning.
It's near the bottom of the page.
