Committing suicide while on air? D:
Apparently, a 19-year-old man went ahead and committed suicide while broadcasting on Justin.tv (which enables user to broadcast live videos to the Internet).
He had been threatening to kill himself for awhile, posting them on message boards. He finally did so by taking an overdose of pills while on air. While many of his viewers were skeptical, some were genuinely concerned and contacted the police, who eventually discovered his body.
I guess I feel bad for the guy, since apparently, he was encouraged to do what he did... But then again... Why put it up on the Internet...? .___.
