A MAN FROM SHROPSHIRE has been found dead in a house after apparently killing himself live on webcam, as others watched in disbelief, according to The Shropshire Star.

Web users watching 42 year-old Kevin Whitrick quickly phoned police as the man began self harming, live on webcam. Despite plenty of people calling in to try and stop the suicide, by the time the police had arrived he was already dead.

The police are currently not releasing details as to which chatroom Whitrick was in at the time.

The video doesn't yet seem to have made the top ten on You Tube Dot Com. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
