Florida Teen Commits Suicide -- Before Live Web Audience

Suicide Some egged him on, others tried to argue him out of it.  Some thought it was real, others a hoax.  Alas, it was real. "Abraham Biggs, 19, told an audience he ingested a lethal mixture of three different drugs, then allowed his death to be broadcast on a live streaming website.The end of the video -- which shows Pembroke Pines police busting into his bedroom, then pointing a gun at his lifeless body -- remained up on LiveVideo.com as of Friday morning."

Video was taken down but a screen shot (left) after police arrived has been circulated.  More here.  The Miami Herald reports:  "While rare, this is not the first time a Broward suicide has been broadcast on the web. There was a self-inflicted gunshot wound from Davie posted online a few years back."
