Melbourne, November 21: A teenager took his own life in front of a live webcam apparently upon being encouraged by Internet users to do so.
Florida resident Abraham K. Biggs, 19, had invited netizens on a bodybuilding forum to watch him live while committing suicide.
The post by Biggs, who went by the screen names "CandyJunkie" and “Mr Biggs”, was initially ignored by the forum moderators because they though it to be a prank.
However, there were other users who posted insults, even egged him on.
