(MAY GOD BLESS AND BE NEAR THIS FAMILY)))
Abraham K Biggs posted a suicide note
Abraham K Biggs, from Broward County, took an overdose of
pills while broadcasting himself on Justin.tv, a live video
streaming website.
The 19-year-old used the site to stream footage from a webcam
in his bedroom, after telling users he would be committing suicide
and inviting them to watch live.
He posted a suicide note in which he said he had hurt other
people and hated himself for being a failure.
The teenager then took several pills before lying on the bed
with his back to the camera.
Forum members reportedly continued to insult him, believing
his actions were staged.
As the film rolled, viewers eventually managed to contact the
local police who broke down the door, found the boy's body and
turned off the camera.
Biggs's death has been confirmed by the Broward County
medical examiner, according to Fox News.
