FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - Authorities say a South Florida teen committed suicide in front of a live online webcam audience after blogging about his plan to kill himself.
Broward County medical examiner's office investigator Wendy Crane says 19-year-old Abraham Biggs died Wednesday from a toxic combination of opiates and benzodiazepine, a depressant used to treat insomnia.
People were watching through a body building Web site and Crane says some were encouraging, others tried to talk him out of it, and a few were debating whether the dose he took was lethal. Crane says someone notified the moderator, who traced the teen's location and called police. Biggs was dead by the time they got there.
Crane says he was just seen lying on the bed at that point.
