Brother Speaks of Pain after Online 'Suicide'
The brother of the 21-year-old known as "Ripper", who committed suicide while in a chat room, (sn reported), has spoken to the BBC about his sadness and anger that no-one tried to prevent Vegas from swallowing the pills live in front of a web cam.
"You see people laughing about it and encouraging him to take more," said Rich Vegas to the Outlook programme. "You look at the actions of people and there is such a disconnect from what was really happening. It's really sad."
Professor Boam, former head of the Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention told the same programme that chatroom suicide was a growing danger.

probably, but in the full story, it says that eventually they could tell the pills were affecting him and such, and some wondered if they should call authorities.. but still, nobody did anything

from the site: "As time progressed and they could see and talk and see that the drugs were taking an effect and that he'd taken large quantities, you see them beginning to question whether or not they should contact the authorities, what they should do. Ultimately you see everyone stepping back and doing nothing."

That's true to the best of my knowledge - I saw the story in an online newspaper from arizona. I still think it was a suicide - Only morons don't know when they swallow 8 times the OD50 dose of methadone. You think that on beautiful friday evening you decide to take 20 times what you ordinary take ?!?

i enjoy it
i enjoy small, bitter tastes of reality
makes me sad though
the cry for attention
the lack of attention
the fatal blow for attention
and finally
...
...
attention
but 6 months from now
no one will care
no one will remember
life will go on
suicidal rages are annoying
there is nothing you can say when this happens
only that, people push themselves too far to become noticed
to become seen
to become the center of attention
enjoy it while you last, ripper,
i hope it was worth it.
