    That's freaking horrifying. Even more dispicable were the people who witnessed it and didn't call the cops.

    Some people were actually encouraging the guy on to kill himself.

    That's unfathomable to me.

    It's just a shame how some people react to things like this. Regardless of if he said he would do it before...that's no reason to encourage it...disgusting

    Your comment hits it on the head. In a world where the internet is pseudo-anonymous and there is a pack mentality -- it is just amazing how low human beings can descend.

    I googled it and a lot of different stories popped up including a man who hung himself on webcam and a guy who shot himself on webcam in front of his ex. I didn't know things like this happened, but now that I think about it I'm not surprised.
