19-Year Old Commits Suicide...

On Justin.tv...
In a striking display of the power of live video, Abraham K. Biggs committed suicide on Wednesday while broadcasting himself on video site Justin.tv. As we understand it from various forum posts, the 19-year-old Floridian was apparently egged on by commenters on Justin.tv and fellow forum users on bodybuilding.com. Biggs overdosed on pills while on camera and appeared to be breathing for hours until watchers realized he might be serious, at which point they alerted the police. The video kept running until police and EMTs broke Biggs’ door down and blocked the camera’s view. We confirmed Biggs’ death with the Broward County medical examiner. The Justin.tv video and many of the forum posts have been taken down.
When asked about the broadcast via email, Justin.tv CEO Michael Seibel said:
As for the broadcaster incident last night, we don’t comment on individual videos, however, our policy prohibits inappropriate content on Justin.tv. We rely on the community to flag videos that they feel are objectionable. Once a video is flagged, it is reviewed and quickly removed from the system if it violates our Terms of Use.
We won’t post the disturbing content here, but much of it is still online. Images of the broadcast have been posted here and here, and there’s also a suicide note from Biggs, who went by the screenname CandyJunkie. An account of forum users watching the broadcast and calling the police is here. There are also rest-in-peace comments on what appears to be Biggs’ MySpace page. The Justin.tv broadcast used to be here.
The contention that filming and uploading (and even hosting video of) a crime is a crime as well might not be valid, but given the very nature of live broadcasts, the issue becomes more complicated.
And it’s not as if technology enabled the taking of a life, or as if this hasn’t happened before. A British man hung himself last year after allegedly being goaded on by fellow users on Paltalk, another live video site. There was even a widely distributed movie on the topic of live-streamed killings released earlier this year called Untraceable. But last night’s incident raises a thought-provoking question regarding free hosting of live broadcasts — what could sites like Justin.tv possibly do to prevent live-streamed snuff films?
Justin.tv has already come under fire for another problem with live broadcasts — copyright infringement. The Premier League is reportedly threatening legal action against the site over unauthorized broadcasts of soccer games. Justin.tv, which is a free service, has maintained it complies with takedown requests according to the law — but with live broadcasts, the key event often ends before lawyers can get involved. Or in Biggs’ case, before people who care about him could get through. What, a dumbass...

you can hardly call him an idiot/stupid/dumbass - he had the balls to go through with what many more people only ever TALK about doing while driving everyone crazy, like many whiney EMO's and goths.
I wish more people would either do it or not do it, but don't sit and fucking talk about it. This otherwise normal girl my buddy dated once decided to lock herself in his bathroom with a kitchen knife as he was leaving to go to work, because he said he wanted her gone by the time he got home since he was done with the relationship. She said she'd be dead when he got home. He told her "I gotta get to work - take care, brush your hair." Of course when he got home she wasn't there anymore - just five pages worth of scribble about what a terrible person he was that he could just 'leave her there to die'. :rolleyes: drama whore. Had he given in to her bullshit instead of leaving, there would've been no end to it.
So kudos to this dude on his success, even though psych help is what he probably needed more. Tough-talk aside, in all seriousness it *is* tragic.

it's cool to see people make their goals become reality.. BUT for on camera... pills are just anti climatic.. use a gun.. a nice twitching hanging.. homemade guilotine.. something thats camera friendly. Not just "im sleepy.. think ill lie down now"..

I would argue that this is only because said emo/goth fucktards are too incompetent to even off themselves.

I once had a dream about watching people blow their brains out and hang themselves on cam. I watched for days and days. They rotted beautifully. The hung man, pardon pun, his insides came out through his ass and after a while everything past below the neck bloated and swelled and burst right before my tired tired eyes. They were covered in bugs and eventually the hung mans dog came in for a snack, he died not long after his last bite. He rotted too. I had been up for so long watching intensely on a scorching summer week I almost felt like I could smell the stench through my eyes... Perhaps I was dead too, decomposing, infested with sarcophagidae.

I only have dreams my kids go missing. Those are what I call "I cant fucking breathe dreams". I feel paralized and I cannot breathe for about 5 seconds after I wake from it.
I haaaaate when I dream I am falling and when Im about to hit the ground I jerk(not like that) and wake up.
I write down alot of the number I dream about I would write down everything else except I remember it so vivdly...

Nice. Good answer. I'd vote you "best troll of November" if you posted tits. I talked to Brandon about it and he's willing to throw in access to the mod board along with the extra * star you get. Pretty sweet deal.

Hopefully soon those 'dreams' will become 'realities'
