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.
