A 21-year-old American online gaming fan broadcast his suicide on a Bulgarian Internet forum.

Named as Mitchell S., the gamer switched on his web cam and swallowed a large amount of motor antifreeze and pills after complaining about family problems and a lack of money, forum administrator Boyan Georgiev told Bulgaria's BGNES news agency on Wednesday.

Other forum members thought the man nicknamed "Kudjo" was joking even though he rambled for six hours about the effects of the substances and disappeared from view several times.

After he failed to appear at regular meeting spots, gamers went to his home and learnt he died in hospital on January 7.

His last posting on that forum
----------------------------

I’ve spent just shy of 5 years on this board, and I feel I need to let you guys know this. This isn’t a fake like Wing: I’m ending my life. A combination of money, school, and (consequently) housing problems has created a burden I can’t bare. I know this makes me a coward, but that’s okay. With any luck, I won’t be around for you to call me that.

I want you guys to know I had a lot of fun. It’s sad so many left, but they few of you still around – you guys were just as good friends as those I had in real like in some ways. Thanks for it all.

Yes, this makes one feel we were relatively lucky with our little incident last year.

Edit: @Tibby: Despite reading about it on iafrica earlier, your post freaked me a bit as well. Thought for a moment is was a copycat thing.

My bad folks ... edited my post to prevent any sort of confusion.
 
Amazing how much bull **** there is out there. Doesn't diminish the fact the guy commited suicide.
 
Yeah, 6 hours... then he would type and give them updates on how he was feeling. What a freak.
