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
