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.

yeah it's a bit weird how they put it, but the guy actually
commit suicide in front of everyone on his webcam, and
nobody cared.. just egged him on and dared him to do it

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.

-fin
