19-year-old Commits Suicide on Justin.tv

In a striking display of the power of live video, a 19-year-old boy committed suicide on Wednesday while broadcasting himself on video site Justin.tv . NewTeeVee reports.

Apparently he was egged on by commenters on Justin.tv and fellow forum users on bodybuilding.com.

Abraham K. 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.
