Carnulius
was accused, in the reign of Tiberius, of some crime not now known, and put an end to his own life to escape the cruel tortures inflicted by Tiberius upon other victims. When Tiberius heard of his death, he was grieved at losing an opportunity of killing a man in his own way, and exclaimed Carnulius me evasit. (Suet, Tib. 61.)
