Yes they could be tries as accomplices to suicide but how can you determine a spectator was in one of the 8 categories I listed? Only those who encouraged him to do himself in need to be charged if they can be identified. And this will require obtaining their verbal and/or written blog postings.

Forums are a source of great information, there is some one that knows some thing and how it can be done better. Look at the guy in UK that blew up him self on camera in a forum, they knew he was going to blow up him self, they asked him to cock the gun and how shooting on a chick blows up the dam brains. And I am telling you at age 19 this is great it is actually hilarious if you can blow up your self on camera for all to see. So I ask should we charge them? And what is the offence?

However, 1500 watching means something else. They wanted to witness it and, as stated, some encouraged him to go ahead. I could make my breakdown of the 1500 this way: 1-Those who encouraged him to do it 2-Those who doubted he would do it 3-Those who doubted the potency of his concoctions 4-Those who tried to stop him (this must me first timers who took him seriously) 5-Those who were just eager to see someone die - live on camera. Some people get a kick out of sadistic behaviours. I hear some (excuse me for the expression) even ejaculate with the excitement. 6-Those who were just there to witness the spectacle 7-Those who thought he was simply an attention-seeker 8-Some spectators were actually contemplating suicide and wanted to see the young man's painless procedures. Whichever way you look at it, he set the ball rolling for his own demise. If it is true that he pulled the hat trick before and many doubted him this time, then the fact he failed to carry out the first episode must have driven him to be real this time because he worried folks would say he was a wimp. So he pulled it finally. My dilemma though is, why would anyone of the 1500 who thought he joked about the scheme in the past, decide to be on the spectators seat without alerting the authorities. These folks are all sick - they are all members of a cyber cult who knew the boy. I bet a few of them will soon do themselves in the same way.

Should they be arrested? If so what should they be charged with? If I know that some one in a forum wants to end her life is it my responsibility to stop it? Just on record, in Canadian law it is not a crime to commit suicide.

Daaaayiuuuuumnnn....! He must be deeply mental to do this. Catholics believe suicide is sacrilegious and a definite ticket to Hell.

Abraham Biggs, 19, died Wednesday from a toxic combination of opiates and benzodiazepine, a drug used to treat insomnia and depression, said Wendy Crane, an investigator with the Broward County medical examiner's office. At least one of the drugs was prescribed to him and it's unclear how he got the others, Crane said. Some of those watching encouraged Biggs, others tried to talk him out of it, and a few were debating whether the dose he took was lethal, Crane said. It's unclear how many people were watching. Biggs stated his intentions on a forum at bodybuilding.com, where some users said they did not take him seriously because he had made previous statements about killing himself, Crane said. Biggs posted a link from there to Justin.tv, a site that allows users to broadcast live videos from their webcams. Someone finally notified the moderator of the body building site's forum, who traced the teen's location to Pembroke Pines and called police, Crane said. Biggs was dead by the time they got to his house around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Crane said. He had started blogging at 3 a.m. "He was just seen laying on the bed at that point," she said. Condolences poured into his MySpace page, where the mostly unsmiling teen is seen posing in a series of pictures with various young women. A woman who answered the phone at Biggs' home and identified herself as his sister said the family was still dealing with his death and declined immediate comment. Biggs' father, Abraham Biggs Sr., told ABCNews.com that he was not home when his son died. He said his son struggled with depression and had been prescribed benzodiazepine to treat bipolar disorder. Biggs had been "doing better," his father said. "He was a good kid." The elder Biggs said he was upset that Justin.tv streamed his son's suicide live. "There seems to be a lack of control as to what people put out on the Internet," the elder Biggs said. "There's a lot of garbage out there that should not be, and unfortunately this was allowed to happen." In a statement, Justin.tv CEO Michael Seibel said: "We regret that this has occurred and want to respect the privacy of the broadcaster and his family during this time." Messages left with the body-building website were not immediately returned Friday. A spokesman said Pembroke Pines police are investigating but declined further comment. Crane said she knows of at least one other case in which a South Florida man shot himself in the head in front of an online audience, although she didn't know how much viewers saw. In Britain last year, a man hung himself while chatting online.
