On the forum, people have been saying he's been saying that he will kill himself for the past few months.

I don't see why everybody is getting so pissed off by some peoples negative comments, i mean they don't know him and nether do i so why should we care if he killed himself or not, it's our choice to believe that he is a coward for what he has done

Poor guy, suicide should never be the answer. The people who taunted him must be feeling pretty bad right now

RIP

The thing is they don't feel pretty bad. They are still taunting him, when one of the concerned guys contacted the mod Roxie she said "He's an attention Whore, let him go". Even though there was live footage of him dead, not breathing.

Atleast there was one decent guy. After five hours of him laying there not breathing some guy from India called the police and they thought he was taking the piss.

Sadly, the Internet is full of scumbags who would take the piss out of this sort of thing. Hence 4chan, etc. But I guess with the number of hoaxes of this sort of thing that go on with the 'net, it's no wonder people don't take it seriously.

Bloody stupid way to end things if this is what has happened, though.
 
Considering the guy posted multiple threads on it, copied and pasted a "suicide note" from another location.... Seems all a bit "suss".

Good work to those who called the cops and cared thou, weird they are the ones with bans?

So either its a really sad event, or what the poster did for attention may turn out worse if he is alive and drug charges are laid.


*Also* its strange how quick people race to update Wikipedia... Scroll the the bottom of this page and view "similar cases" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Vedas
 
i cant beleive some of the idiots on there egging him on, that thread was horrible, hopefully if someone trys it again the posters take it a bit more seriously than, "he wont do it bra". disgrace
 
That is some ****ed up shit.

How would you react though if someone said the same thing on BigFooty?

I'd probably call bullshit as well, It's hard to know what somebody is capable of if you don't really know them in real life. It is probably something that has to be given some consideration, if it actually does happen on here. But I tend to think our mods are more on top of things than other sites I frequent.

Oh yeah, link from when the cops busted the door down - http://www.livevideo.com/video/F29B145FA9F149DA8DEB6469B297D9D2/candyjunkie-vid.aspx (mods, if you feel this is inappropriate, delete away)
 
I've seen the guys myspace and he seemed like a cool outgoing guy.

That sucked.

Do we even have any updates on what happened after at the hospital?

Minus the spaces obviously.

And bpd, the Indian guy had the whole thread saved on his hard drive.

Seems like a good bloke. Unlike the rest of the w***ers.
 
anyone who calls this guy gutless has no idea. You obviously have no idea about depression. Suicide the 'EASY' way out???
killing yourself is the hardest thing anyone could ever do.

It's one thing to say he regrets what his family will go through, it's another thing to stop being a bloody coward and seek help so he can continue to be with his family.

How hard is it to seek help, go to a doctor and get medication, or find someone to talk to. He took the easy option and now his family suffers.

Don't give me this bullshit about an illness, illness can be treated or at the very least controlled. He didn't seek help because he is a coward. They say people who commit suicide burn in hell, after what this guy has put his family through, lets hope so.

You obviously have little or no idea, a lot of people that commit suicide have seen someone in the first place and are on anti depression medication. Grow a heart and stop a being a flog

besides how do you 'know' he didn't seek help?
 
Very fkd up and sad.

19-year-old Abraham K Biggs commits suicide live on webcam

  • 19-year-old committed suicide on live webcam
  • People allegedly encouraged him online
  • Video still streaming when police found him
A TEENAGER has apparently committed suicide in front of a live webcam after being encouraged by people online.
19-year-old Florida resident Abraham K. Biggs, who went by the screen names "CandyJunkie" and “Mr Biggs”, told users on a bodybuilding forum he would be committing suicide that night and invited them to watch the live video.
The forum moderators allegedly ignored the post – assuming it was a prank – while other users posted insults and even egged him on.
Suicide help and advice is available from www.sane.org The teen used the "lifecasting" website Justin.tv – designed to let users share the minutiae of their everyday lives – to stream footage from his bedroom.

Biggs was seen taking several pills before lying on the bed with his back to the camera.
He didn't move, and users claim they realised it was serious a few hours later when they saw he wasn't breathing. Moderators then traced Biggs's location and informed authorities.
The webcam was still streaming live footage of the teen's body as police entered the room. A laser-guided weapon was pointed at the body and an object was thrown at the bed.
Authorities then appeared on the video as they approached the teen's body, checked for a pulse, and covered up the webcam.
Biggs’s death was reportedly confirmed by the Broward County medical examiner.
Justin.tv chief executive officer Michael Seibel told online video news website NewTeeVee.com the service relied on users to report inappropriate content.
"As for the broadcaster incident last night, we don’t comment on individual videos, however, our policy prohibits inappropriate content on Justin.tv," he said.
"We rely on the community to flag videos that they feel are objectionable. Once a video is flagged, it is reviewed and quickly removed from the system if it violates our Terms of Use."
Some forum users allegedly began deleting their posts after the incident and an official thread – including Biggs' full name – was posted by moderators.
Biggs's friends have posted "RIP" messages on his MySpace page, with some still asking him to pick up his phone, and others changing their statuses to "devastated".
The teen described himself as a "good hearted guy" on his social networking profile.
"I care a lot about my friends and my family and I would do almost anything for them," he said.
"I am very goal oriented, I know what I want to do with my life and I am working towards it."
Biggs last posted on MySpace three days before he committed suicide in a wall post about taking sleeping pills. A week ago he left a message about closing a chapter in his life and apologised to his friends for his behaviour.
The circumstances of the teen's suicide are similar to another incident last year, when a man hung himself in front of a live webcam as internet users egged him on.
