TOKYO - A JAPANESE man committed suicide live on the Internet
after heated exchanges with online users daring him to die, reports
said on Wednesday.
A 24-year-old man in the northern city of Sendai was found dead
on Tuesday morning in his apartment by local police, who received
reports from web users, Yomiuri Shimbun said.
The man, who lived alone, had been on extended sick leave from
his job since August and had posted complaints about his work,
Sankei Shimbun said.
The man began to broadcast images of himself on live streaming
service Ustream on Sunday night, announcing his plan to kill
himself and discussing his views about life.
After a break, his broadcast resumed early on Tuesday and he
hanged himself in his apartment at around 5.30am (4.30am Singapore
time), Sankei said.
His broadcast received many messages, with some web users
encouraging him to kill himself quickly, while others urged him to
desist. Ustream stopped the broadcast after 6.00am on Tuesday,
following reports from an increasing number of viewers, Yomiuri
said. -- AFP
It's perfectly normal for society failures to go and die.
Luckily he broadcasted his death, or else nobody will even
bother to read about it.
The people who pitied and fely sorry for him, must also be in
similar category or situations but are probably very impressed by
his courage to kill himself.
There must be other more useful ways to die than preparing such
an elaborate display.
For example, I will make myself more useful to benefit the
public if I had intentions to die.
