Suicide by drug overdose, live via webcam

November 21, 2008

This is a pretty sick story.

A 19-year old told a chat forum of his intentions, and posted a suicide note on another forum before taking a drug overdose and turning on the camera.

Over a thousand people was viewing the feed, and worse, many forum members continued to insult him, believing it was staged.

This one’s up there with the story on pro-suicide web pages.
