(November 21, 2008)—A teenager in South Florida who blogged about his plans to kill himself has committed suicide in front of a live online Web camera, police say.

Broward County Medical Examiner's Office investigator Wendy Crane said Abraham Biggs, 19, died Wednesday from a toxic combination of opiates and benzodiazepine, which is a depressant used to treat insomnia.

People watched through a body building Web site as Biggs took the drugs and Crane said some were encouraging, while others tried to talk him out of it, and a few debated whether the dose he took was lethal.

Crane said someone notified the moderator, who traced the teenager's location and called police.

Biggs was lying dead on a bed by the time officers arrived.

He was wanting attention. He figured someone would call 911 before he died but no one took him serious. So his death should be blame on no one but him. Kids now days think they are invisible. He's totally at fault.

Yes it was his own son's fault. Parents should pay close attention to what younger children do on the internet, I'm sure a minor was watching this (and by minor I mean under the age of 14/15). Parents need to get hip to the internet generation and set limits to what they're children have access to.

Please tv and movies. I could see if the boy was 8 years old and did something like that...then maybe we could say it was tv or movies. This boy was 19 years old..he is old enough to know what he is doing. this boy obviously had a problem. god bless his family and may god have mercy.
