A Florida teenager killed himself by overdosing on drugs in front of a live online audience as some computer users egged him on, some debated his method, and others tried to talk him out of it.
Abraham Biggs Jr., 19, was found in the bedroom of his home in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on Wednesday and an autopsy showed he died of a toxic combination of opiates and benzodiazepine, a drug used to treat anxiety and insomnia, the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office said. Authorities say Biggs is not the first person to commit suicide with a webcam rolling.
He posted a link from bodybuilding.com to Justin.tv, a site that allows users to broadcast live videos from their webcams that he is planning to kill himself. Others watching in Justin.tv even encouraged him to do it, thinking the teenager will never do it. Until the teenager lied on his bed lifeless.
Some people tried contacting the admin of Justin.tv to pinpoint the location but it is was too late until the police arrived.
