Britain’s first cyber suicide

I think deep down i have compassion.. But why do it for all to see

Suicide is a subject very close to my heart but what he did was stupid

all he had to do was pick up the phone and dial the samaritans. i agree with PB………he had 12 yr old twins. suicide is a cop out.

Caff wants me big time i can feel it in me water lol

Bless ya caff hey this is what the boards are for every one to either agree or dissagree

Wonder if jc should have a insults room tho :-k

Would be great after a sh ite day at work lol

I feel so sorry for his family, especially his children. Suicide always leaves so many questions unanswered which can haunt a family indefinitely.
My brother commited suicide and left no note or explanation as to why. We knew he suffered from depression but never realised he was suicidal. I was the last person to see him alive and never noticed anything unusual but I still question myself to this day. I had to watch my parents go through the grief of losing their son and watch them pop sleeping pills like smarties just so they could sleep for even a few hours. My mum never got over it.
I can also understand peoples feelings as to why this man chose to do it the way he did. Not only has it devastated his family but will probably have caused untold stress to people who witnessed it.
Selfish and cowardly? I honestly don’t think so. There is a good chance that he may well have only been considering taking his own life but with people egging him on, that may have been confirming what he himself thought. Depression is an awful illness and one that some people may never understand. We shouldn’t judge this man but instead feel sorry for those he left behind.

Well I’ve read through all the posted stuff on depression and despair etc etc (above) and all very touching it is too.

But the plain fact is that this bloke frequented a chatroom / webcam room (whatever) that was specifically intended for insults and abuse. it wasn’t yer ”normal” type where he could have had a friendly natter with some tree hugging pals.

PATS hit the nail right smack bang on the head …. if he wanted assistance or a friendly shoulder etc he could have dialled the Samaritans. But oh no .. this clown had to go for the big ”I am” gesture didn’t he? Wouldn’t everybody REALLY feel sorry for him if he topped himself live on the internet?

Of course it is a tragedy for his children – (his (ex) wife was probably better off without him) – but then so is it a tragedy when a father has a fatal and unexpected heart attack or gets killed in a road traffic accident. Whilst the end result is tragically the same, at least they didn’t die in a pointless and futile gesture.

Sorry but I am right out of sympathy for this guy. He is a total loser and the pity of it all is that his final moments will probably make it onto YouTube for all to see.

You are probably right PB , can you imagine kids at this mans children school passing on this to them?????????

I absolutely feel for this mans family and children, my freinds mum committed suicide when he was in her 20s and at 50 something she still wants answers and still grieves that her mum didnt talk to her.

we recently lost a young youth worker through suicide at work, we all knew she was ill and of course she didnt work for a long time once her depression was known, no one knows what kicked it off , she was a bright , articulate young lady who just became depressed with all sorts of demons haunting her and eventually she took her own life

We will have to agree to differ on this particular thread PB , who was it that said, I may not agree with what you say but will defend your right to say it?

We are all different thank goodness and I think commpassion and ‘tree huggers’ *your phrase lol* and *dont suffer fools gladly* people live side by side and thats how it should be , would be a very boring world if we all agreed wouldnt it ?

Despite all thats been said we do have to spare a thought for those children , who knows how this will affect them in the future?
