Biggs' Suicide
Abraham Biggs had announced his plan to commit suicide on a bodybuilding forum on November 19, 2008, reportedly inviting members to watch his death. Reports say Biggs also posted a suicide note, calling himself a "failure," shortly before turning on his webcam. Forum members, apparently believing his suicide was staged, continued to post for some time as Biggs lay motionless on his bed. When members realized that Biggs hadn't moved for several hours they contacted authorities, who are seen entering Biggs' bedroom, checking the teen's pulse and switching off the webcam.FOX News: Florida Teen Commits Suicide Live on Web Cam (November 21, 2008) News.com.au: 19-year-old Abraham K Biggs commits suicide live on webcamStatement from Justin.tv CEO Michael Seibel
