Why do I want to watch the video?

It’s a Wikipedia article which doesn’t appear to include a video.

There is no video of the suicide publicly available. The sole remaining copy was given to her surviving family, and it's kept in a vault never to be seen.

Also, it's been a while since I last saw the film adaptation, but iirc they cut off from showing the suicide. That's the closest we have to "seeing" it, aside from the audio that is.
