Teen Kills Himself Before Live Web Audience

Item: Fla. teen commits suicide with live Web audience/USA Today

More Info: The message OMG popped up next to the live webcam broadcast of Abraham Biggs lying motionless on his bed, followed by LOL and "hahahah." But Biggs wasn't joking. The 19-year-old Broward College student really did commit suicide by taking a drug overdose in front of a live Internet audience, as some computer users egged him on and others tried to talk him out of it.

Question: Would you watch something like this?
