PUBLIC MARKS with tag suicide

«Au-delà de la reconnaissance du stress comme maladie professionnelle, la CFE-CGC réclame la mise en place d’une taxation très forte pour les entreprises confrontées à ces suicides et pour lesquels il y a reconnaissance d’accident du travail», a déclaré mardi le président de la centrale des cadres, Bernard Van Craeynest lors de sa conférence de presse de rentrée.

A 19-year-old man has committed suicide live on the internet encouraged by others who were watching, according to reports.

The teenager, named as Abraham K Biggs, from Broward County, Florida, took an overdose of pills while broadcasting himself on Justin.tv, a live video streaming website.

The 19-year-old lay on his bed and only after several hours of no movement did others begin to take him seriously. With the video still running, forum members managed to contact the local police who eventually broke down the door, found the body and switched off the camera. Up to 1,500 people were viewing the feed, according to one report.
