FL teen commits suicide in front of webcam

"This is very, very sudden and unexpected for us," the sister said. "It boggles the mind. We don't understand."

Riiiiiight...

I find it kinda messed up that the article author said "As police entered the room, the audience's reaction was filled with Internet shorthand: 'OMFG,' one wrote, meaning 'Oh, my God.'" Let's hope we don't have a bunch of computer illiterate people running around talking about OMFG and thinking they're only saying oh my god.

Having an online video streaming of a suicide is kinna like a snuff film? Just asking, 'cuz I don't know--meaning, I need the GC lawyers to let me know.

Because watching a snuff film--isn't that illegal?

ETA: Answered my own question... This was a suicide not a murder and people watched it and no one who watched it felt compelled to stop it, if there was a way. But it is not a "snuff film" based on the current definition. But it could easily be classified as one along with the language we find in kiddie porn and abuse...
