Bodybuilding.com’s notoriously unmoderated MISC forum taunted a 19 year old member, Abraham K. Biggs (aka CandyJunkie and Mr. Biggs), to commit suicide via webcam.

The taunting began when the 19 year old remarked on the forum that he was considering suicide. Forum members began encouraging him, pushing for him to kill himself.

Eventually the man set up a live streaming webcam on JustinTV, and proceeded to swallow pills. The scene ended with him prone on his bed.

It has also been reported that forums members began deleting their posts after the severity of the incident set in.

Bango Skank has stated that the camera image of the dead member was up for over 5 hours on bodybuilding.com, and was not reported or taken down.

You guys know anything about this? I wasn’t there when it happened, I’m just now learning about it. The forum is off-line at the moment. I’ve been a long time poster over there… but it’s just gotten sick lately, and this, this goes beyond disturbing. Even more deranged than the act itself is the consensus reaction from the MISC community. Daring him to do it and deriding him as he lay there lifeless. No one even attempted to call for help for 5+ hours! Gives me chills.

Here are some comments from the bodybuilding.com forums before they were taken down…

Oh and it is all somehow Roxie’s fault because various trolls say so.

Thats it in a nutshell.

To Whom It May Concern,
I am going to leave this for whoever stumbles across my bookmarks later on.
I hate myself and I hate living. I think that if someone who knows me
reads this they will know who I am. So I will leave this unsigned. I am
an a@#hole. I have let everyone down and I feel as though I will never
change or never improve. I am in love with a girl and I know that I am
not good enough for her. I have come
to believe that my life has all been meaningless. I keep trying and I
keep failing. I have thought about and attempted suicide many times in
the past. I used to think of my failure as some mystical way of telling
me that I was really meant for something meaningful. The only thing I
dread, besides the pain, is the way my family will suffer. I do not want
my mother or father to think that it was anything they did that lead me
to kill myself. I never really had any plans of leaving a note. I
thought that I would not be able to describe why I want to do this and I
am right. There is no way to tell you or anyone else why I dread every
new day. My father had such high expectations for me and tried to give
me every opportunity to improve upon myself. I let him down. I think
that I am a major disappointment to him. I have a job but I?m always broke
and I am in college but barely, I show up to class but that?s about it.
I want my life to end. I am tired of f@#$ing up everything. I
am tired of people always telling me that they do not like me. I am
tired of trying to be decent. I hope that someone finds this post and I
hope that my parents know that I f@#$ed up not them. It is my fault I
screwed up my own life.
The hate that rages within me, rages not for those I love so dearly or
those who have crossed my path.
This hate rages full force towards me and only me.
I have long forgiven those who’ve hurt me, but I have not and cannot
come to terms to forgive myself for the things I have done to myself, and
the things I’ve done to hurt those in my life.
You have all touched my life in one way or another,
especially those whom I call family.
I cannot tell you how sorry I am for ending my life the way I did. I
hope that you can all find it in your heart to see it as way for me not
suffering anymore and that I am finally at rest with myself, for being at
rest with the guilt that constantly ate at me for so long.
Please forgive me all for taking my own life so early. I tried so hard
to fight against this strong battle. I have reached out for help so many
times, and yet I believe, I was turned away because of the things I did,
that it is a punishment I am willing to take, for I know that being who I am
has only brought myself and others pain.
I love you all and will forever live within the memories we created.
Forgive me.
Love always and forever,
As for my signature I will leave you with a quote so that if anyone
reads this they will know it’s me, “Can?t feel pain if your dead? Just Saying”

   I can’t believe the forum allowed that post to linger for so long. It’s like watching a car spin out fo control, and not taking action to move the baby out of the street.

   I agree Heidi. Taking “no” action is in itself a decision…one they have to live with.

   thats so sad. this is a human being , someone should have done something soon. its so sicknig that we live in such a heartless world full of bitter low lifes that would just feed on his pain. the guy was in pain someone should at lease help him or told him “suicide isnt the answer” or call the police. that is just wrong. but i hope the guy is resting in peace. im sure ppl will dearly miss u or sure maybe in your next life you will have everything you always wanted. but i do belive the loser that took part in this event will be strike by a dose of karma.
