A Florida teenager who broadcast his suicide over a live internet video stream was encouraged to do so by people watching the tragic event online.
Nineteen-year-old ABRAHAM BIGGS ended his life on Wednesday by overdosing on prescription pills on an online bodybuilding message board and a live video streaming website.
Police managed to track down BIGGS through his computer's IP address .. andcould be seen in the webcast kicking in the door to his apartment .. but they arrived too late.
An investigator says people were egging him on .. telling him to go ahead and do it .. while others tried to talk him out of it.
Bloggers are reported as saying that BIGGS had threatened to kill himself before and faked it .. so at first they didn't believe him.
