This is just a sad story. 19-year-old Abraham K. Biggs committed suicide on a live webcam on video site Justin.tv while being witnessed by hundreds of viewers. Some of the viewers and commenters on Justin.tv and bodybuilding.com even encouraged him and cheered to kill himself live on the internet. Sick bastards!

They were probably thinking he was joking!

Biggs who went by the screen names “CandyJunkie” and “Mr Biggs”, told users on a bodybuilding forum he would be committing suicide that night and invited them to watch the live video.

The forum moderators allegedly ignored the post – assuming it was a prank – while other users posted insults and even egged him on.

He 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 webcam was still streaming live footage of the teen’s body as police entered the room. A laser-guided weapon was pointed at the body and an object was thrown at the bed.

Authorities then appeared on the video as they approached the teen’s body, checked for a pulse, and covered up the webcam.

People who were logged in and watching the scene unfold was still making commentary.

Some comments were just dumb. Here is a screenshot of the comments:
