Filed under: I’ve been fascinated by this story, which is both powerful and sad. On Wednesday, November 19th, 19-year old Abraham Biggs of Pembroke Pines, Florida, commit suicide in front of an audience via Justin.tv. It was discovered that he was apparently egged on by several forum commenters on bodybuilding.com. Apparently, the teen had cried foul several times in the past and forum visitors did not believe that he was serious. Eventually someone called the police when they realized he was serious.

You can see a portion of the video when the cops show up here (warning: contains racial slurs):
(Is it S.O.P. to throw shit at and use laser scopes on a suspected suicide vitcim?)
This page has the suicide note.
Remeber folks, crying for help is someone who is ASKING FOR HELP.
