    This is what our society has come to.

    "A father-of-two hanged himself live over the internet in Britain's first 'cyber suicide'.

    Kevin Whitrick, 42, took his life after being goaded by dozens of chatroom users from across the world who initially believed he was play acting.

    But as they watched in horror, Mr Whitrick climbed onto a chair, smashed through a ceiling and then hanged himself with a piece of rope."

    Well if that caused him to commit sucide.. then sooner or later he would have killed himself anywaz...

    I don't pity people from being so ignorant...

    (Sorry, I might sound heartless but he did something stupid)

    I think they were merely joking. I would of probably done the same if one of my friends says he wants to kill himself. It is frightening someone will do this though. Given his condition, he would of done it sooner or later.

    the fact he committed suicide doesnt bug me as much as the fact he is the father of two kids... I don't care if your life sucks to hell and you've got nothing going for you; if you kill yourself and leave your children without a father then you dont deserve pity
