Here's the summary of this fucked up story: a user named CandyJunkie on bodybuilding.com's forums has been threatening to committ suicide for a while now on these forums. Apparently, everybody took him as a troll and flamed him every time he made one of these threads. From what I've taken, the "Misc" forum of bodybuilding.com is similar to 4chan, without the child porn.
Anyway, he makes his final thread, people egg him on and tell him to do it... so he sets up a webcam and streams his suicide to whoever wants to watch.
Users get concerned and PM the mod/admin of the forum and this is her response:
After taking a lot of pills, he remains motionless for 5 hours before cops and EMT enter his room.
My question is, do you think the admins of that forum should be held responsible for some of this? They could have alerted the authorities right away when the webcam stream went up and avoided this death.
Crazy story.
