A teenager committed suicide live on the internet while 1,500 people watched, it was claimed today.
Abraham K Biggs, 19, took a drugs overdose while broadcasting on video streaming website Justin.tv.
According to reports, some viewers even encouraged him to kill himself thinking it was just a threat.
It was only after he had been lying on his bed for several hours that members of the site took his threat seriously and contacted police.
Officers broke down the doors of his home in Broward County, Florida, and found him dead on the bed.
The video was still running when they entered his house.
Mr Biggs had claimed he was going to kill himself in a posting on a chat forum and had also left a suicide note on a second site bodybuilding.com.
He gave explicit details of the amount of drugs he was going to take and in his suicide note revealed he felt like a failure.
'I am an a******. I have let everyone down and I feel as though I will never change or never improve. I am in love with a girl and I know that I am not good enough for her,' he wrote.
