A Florida teenager who used a webcam to live-stream his suicide Wednesday was reportedly encouraged by other people on the Web site. Abraham Biggs, 19, of Pembroke Pines, Fla., had been blogging on an online body-building message board and had linked to his page on Justin.tv, a live video streaming Web site, where the camera rolled as he overdosed on prescription pills, according to Crane. Biggs, who had reportedly been discussing his suicide on the forums, also posted a suicide note. The video and blog postings have since been removed from the sites.
Crane said comments on the thread included an exchange about whether the image of Biggs’ motionless body was a still photograph or a video, and eventually resulted in one of the site’s visitors calling the police, who tracked down the teen through his computer IP address. Biggs was pronounced dead at 3:30 p.m. Nov. 19 �" about 12 hours after he had begun blogging about his suicide. The official cause of death was suicide combined with drug toxicity. Crane said that benzodiazepines and opiates were found near the body, but a blood toxicology to quantify just how much Biggs consumed is still under way. Crane said that at least one of the prescription drugs was in Biggs’ name. Biggs had struggled with depression, according to his father, and had been prescribed medication for bipolar disorder.
