Abraham Biggs of Pembroke Pines, Florida a 19-year-old college student sadly committed suicide via a live webcast viewed by dozens of viewers invited through posts on bodybuilding.com. During his 12 hour death viewers were chatting and cracking jokes as he slowly died. Briggs claimed he was swallowing Xanax and Oxycodone which was later confirmed by the medical examiners office. There has been outrage towards the dozens of viewers who never called 911 to report the incident which could have saved his life. Its hard to tell sometimes online what is real. My question is this. Did they think it was real? What is your take on the suicide viewers? Either way its a very sad story

    Suicidal People need help, don't think to hard trying to comment on this. No, i dont think that he was taken serious because there are way to many emo kids crying wolf to the point no one really even cares online.."its just the computer,and these people don't matter" is the mind frame i guess?

    No matter what you may think or feel about suicide - this kid was someones child or brother... Times are bad - people become depressed and lose hope... Pray for his family.

    God loves you!

  • I agree with you. ...

    I agree with you. people who threaten to harm themselves to get attention are the most stupid and self centered people you ever meet. should we feel bad for suicide "victims"? they gave up on life. its sad but its still their choice

  • I was a chat group ...

    I was a chat group years ago, and someone went wiggy on us. She went into a trance and walked out into the night. Someone knew where she lived (in a College dorm) and contacted the police. They were able to find her before she harmed herself. Later she was grateful that people had cared enough to help her.

    It's really scary when someone threatens suicide online and you don't know where they are and how to help them.

  • It was all over ...

    It was all over YouTube the day after it happened. but they took it down soon. From what I've read, most people did think it was a joke and didn't realize it was real until they noticed he wasn't breathing. By then it was way too late. Someone claimed that this kid threatened suicide a lot, so when it happened they didn't take it seriously. It was kind of like a "boy who cried wolf" situation. How terrible that some people egged him on.

  • I don't think ...

    I don't think anyone kills themself out of being "stupid". The guy had a mental illness. There's no way to know what went through his head every day.
