A 19-year-old man has committed suicide live on the internet encouraged by others who were watching, according to reports.

The teenager, named as Abraham K Biggs, from Broward County, Florida, took an overdose of pills while broadcasting himself on Justin.tv, a live video streaming website.

On a chat forum he told others he was going to commit suicide and posted a suicide note on another forum before taking the pills and turning on his webcam.

The 19-year-old lay on his bed and only after several hours of no movement did others begin to take him seriously. With the video still running, forum members managed to contact the local police who eventually broke down the door, found the body and switched off the camera. Up to 1,500 people were viewing the feed, according to one report.

A video clip posted on the net shows a police officer entering the room, his handgun drawn, as he checks for any sign of life. Local police said they were investigating a suspected suicide and the death was confirmed by the Broward County medical examiner.

Mr Biggs was a member of the bodybuilding.com forum under the name CandyJunkie and was known as Feels Like Ecstasy on justin.tv. He apparently had threatened before to commit suicide.

He's the video of the cops busting in:

That is nuts. It was only a matter of time before someone did that though. You can broadcast just about anything these days.

holy shit. Social Darwinism + cam whoring.

I'm a member at bodybuilder.com too. weird. Usually those guys are masochists so a little mental anguish doesn't get them down.

I think this whole situation is funny. It's so typical of people on the internet to encourage this type of thing and then it finally actually happens. Plus, I read on some other site that one of the mods at BB was even encouraging him to off himself. hahaha

I would have too, but I wouldn't have been a coward and deleted my post after he really did, like some people.

yeah I wouldn't have either. But I honestly wouldn't have egged him on. I would have drawn him a map of what NOT to do though. I'll bet most of the bisexuals on there are now shitting bricks that they might become accessories.

A mod should know better. That BB needs to be shut down if ppl in charge are that uncaring.

I just read the article locally about 10 minutes ago. It happen one county south of me. They didn't report the BB shit or that it was posted online already

Local authorities aren't saying anything else until after the autopsy and the paper did say anything about depression.
