Teenager appears to take his life on video website

Police in Florida are investigating the death of an American teenager after he appeared to take an overdose and die while broadcasting on video website Justin.tv.The 19-year-old left a message on another website in which he described his mental anguish and was encouraged to end his life by a number of other web users.More than 180 people were watching online as the teenager swallowed pills before collapsing on his bed and appearing to fall unconscious. Only after he stopped moving did some viewers act on what they were seeing by calling the local police to inform them of what was taking place.The video stream continued to run until police and emergency services arrived at the man's house, with footage showing them entering his bedroom and inspecting the scene before filming stopped abruptly.In a message posted on bodybuilding.com, the man had described how he felt and explained why he intended to end his life. In response, some other users of the site egged him on."You want to kill yourself?" said one. "Do it, do the world a favour and stop wasting our time with your mindless self-pity."The messageboard on bodybuilding.com where he left the note appears to have been deleted, but many of the comments left in response to it were unsympathetic. Reports also suggest that commenters on the video website itself encouraged him to end his own life.In response to the news, Justin.tv ? a web broadcasting service that allows anybody to create their own live internet television channel ? said that it had removed the footage after being alerted to the situation.In a statement on the company's website, chief executive Michael Siebel made little further comment, merely saying that a "tragedy ... occurred within our community today" and that "we respect the privacy of the broadcaster and his family during this challenging time."Suicide on the internet is a rare, if not entirely new phenomenon. Last year a British man killed himself on webcam, and Japanese police have tracked a number of online suicide pacts in recent years.Digital videoInternetUnited Statesguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

Website used to abuse Lewis Hamilton owned by global ad agency

The website at the centre of controversy over racist abuse of British formula one driver Lewis Hamilton is owned by a New York-based advertising agency, TWBA, which is part of the world's largest media services group, Omnicom, the Guardian can reveal.The site belongs to the Spanish branch of the advertising firm. It was closed down last night after hundreds of abusive messages were posted, some of which referred to Hamilton as a "half-breed" and others which used the n-word. He hopes to become youngest ever world champion at the final race of the season tomorrow.Last night cabinet minister Andy Burnham led calls for action against the abuse. TBWA operates in 77 countries with 12,000 staff in 258 offices. Its clients include Absolut Vodka, Apple, Adidas, McDonald's, Michelin, Sony PlayStation, and Singapore Airlines. Last year, Omnicom's revenue was $12.7bn.A spokesman in the New York office said it did not know why the site, designed and owned by its interactive marketing branch in Spain, had not been monitored to stop racists using it to abuse Hamilton.Among comments on the site was someone calling himself Carillo, telling Hamilton: "Kill yourself in your car." A message from Alberto says: "I hope you run over your dad in the first pitstop, Hamilton.""This is not what we condone as a company," said TBWA spokesman Jeremy Miller; it would take "appropriate action" once it identified who was responsible for the website.Renault's Fernando Alonso last night condemned the racist supporters. "If it's true, obviously this is not possible [acceptable]," the Spaniard told reporters at the Brazilian Grand Prix. "In 2008 we cannot have these kind of people in our world. It's not only formula one, not only sport, it's normal life as well." Burnham, the culture, media and sport secretary, said: "This is a crucial race and the whole country will be behind him. I'm very concerned to hear reports of sites potentially fuelling racist abuse. The authorities must take the toughest possible action against racism in sport." Keith Vaz, chairman of Labour's ethnic minority taskforce, urged foreign secretary David Miliband to lodge a formal protest, saying it was clear the site - Pincha la Rueda de Hamilton, or Burst Hamilton's Tyre - was set up to destabilise the driver. "The Spanish government cannot allow this organised and systematic racism to continue. These people must be widely condemned and the websites they use shut down immediately."The sport's governing body, the FIA, and Hamilton's McLaren team condemned the attacks as "abusive and hateful".AdvertisingRace issuesMotor sportInternetSpainLabourLewis Hamiltonguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
