Kid ODs as Internet pals watch

[guyver01]

He takes fatal OD as Internet pals watch

Chatroom vultures egged him to pop more Rx pills

Exclusive: "I told u I was hardcore." Those were the last coherent words Brandon Vedas, 21, typed into the computer in his Phoenix bedroom as he showed off for Internet pals watching on a Web cam by swallowing more and more prescription drugs.

Vedas died online as a crowd of virtual onlookers egged him to "eat more!" A chilling record of the Jan. 12 chat reads like an Internet version of the notorious 1964 Kew Gardens, Queens, stabbing of Kitty Genovese as her neighbors watched from their windows.

"It seems like the group mentality really contributed to it," said his brother, calling the transcript "disgusting." "These people treat it like somehow it's not the real world," he said. "They forget it's not just words on a screen."

For all they knew he could've just been faking like he was taking pills. Online it can be tough to discern the seriousness of a situation like that.

They were watching on his webcam... saw the bottles & pills.. watched him pop 'em.

Doesn't matter. Something like that should never be taken for granted.

Webcams aren't exactly broadcast quality, could still be easily faked. I'm not saying they're right, just trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Why is this a "tragedy"?

This kid lied to his doctors, disobeyed instructions from his physicians, and fvcked around with dangerous substances. Seems to me like he bore the full consequences of his actions.

but he was young and "misguided" which makes it a tragedy, even if he did inflict it on himself

Ditto. WHAT an idiot to do that. If he was mentally stable then its only himself to blame......

 

[ReiAyanami]

atleast he only killed himself instead of anybody else

While he may have performed an asinine act, it's inhumane to say "Darwin's theory at work." Someone just died, assholes.

 

[y2kc]

Just Say No..... oops too late.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for drug users.

 

[kranky]

This thread is certainly uncontaminated by sympathy.

Why is it OK to urge an obviously disturbed person to kill himself? Even if you weren't sure it was real? Sad.
