Does anyone know this? And if so, where's it written?

The Bible is silent on who actually found his body, only the manner of death is described and the place where he was buried.
Originally posted by shavixmirHi, there is a reference in the book of acts, also, its rather interesting for some have tried to use it as a pretext to find a discrepancy in the ancient text, for Matthew states that he tried to hang himself and the reference in the book of acts states that he fell and his intestines spilled out.

God damn, do I ever have a theory brewing.

a better question is did he die? or how did he die? one version says he hung himself then another he cut himself. and in john 21 .. 21 to23
Originally posted by jaywillThere is no discrepancy of details, Judas tried to hang himself, from a precipice, he failed and his body crashed to the earth below and his intestines burst out.

But I'll give some opinion. The books of Acts says that he went [b]" to his own place."

Originally posted by robbie carrobieMaybe so. Maybe that is what happened.
please consider this Jaywill,
In two cases of suicide recorded in the Bible, strangulation by hanging was employed. Ahithophel, David’s traitorous counselor, strangled himself (hanged himself). (2Sa 17:23) Ahithophels action was prophetic of that of one of Jesus’ apostles who proved to be traitorous, Judas Iscariot. (Ps 41:9; Joh 13:18) Judas han ...[text shortened]... ing head foremost he noisily burst in his midst and all his intestines were poured out.”Ac 1:18.
