From Reuters:
A Florida teenager committed suicide by drug overdose in front of a webcam streaming live video to the Internet and some viewers may have egged him on, authorities said on Friday.
Abraham Biggs Jr., 19, was found in the bedroom of his home in Pembroke Pines, Florida, on Wednesday and an autopsy showed he died of a toxic combination of opiates and benzodiazepine, a drug used to treat anxiety and insomnia, the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office said.
"We have ruled it a suicide. Part of the terminal event was recorded on a website and there was streaming video," said Dr. Steve Cina, deputy chief medical examiner of Broward County.

Biggs had written blogs about his intentions and some of the viewers who were watching the event live may have goaded him on, Cina said.
"There is some indication of that, yes," he said.
In a purported suicide note posted by Miami television station WPLG on its website, Biggs said: "I hate myself and I hate living."
The note said he had "thought about and attempted suicide many times in the past."
Just some more craziness from America's perverse society. People seem to come up with all kinds of ways to get themselves into the news. The only positive I guess is that he only killed himself and didn't go on one those suicide killing sprees we been hearing so much of lately.
