A man who staged his own suicide on 2ch after they told him to get on with it, hanging himself live on a videostream, has been confirmed by police as having died in the attempt.

The 24-year-old man, a resident of Sendai, first came to the attention of a 2ch student board when he complained of experiencing depression after graduating and getting a job, due to problems securing a girlfriend and the dispersal of his friends far and wide, along with an unforgiving job.

This culminated in him discussing suicide extensively, and making as if to commit suicide on video-streaming site Ustream several times prior to his actual suicide on the morning of November 9th, pictured.

The fake or abortive attempts did little to endear him to his audience, and as a result by the time it came to his actual suicide 2ch had become quite hostile, with any number urging him to hurry up and do it, although a number of users attempted to dissuade him throughout.

The generally derisive atmosphere soon gave way to horror and disbelief when it became apparent he probably had hanged himself – and the viewing audience rocketed from a few hundred to several thousand.

Thread inhabitants reported the incident to police after he stopped moving; police arrived at 8AM, finding him already dead. The man’s suicide broadcasts were first reported to Ustream after he had already hanged himself, and they finally terminated the stream at 6:24AM.

Whilst the actions of 2ch inhabitants in this case are far from surprising, in fairness it should be remembered most apparently did not regard the man as anything more than a determined troll, and that onlookers egging on people on the verge of suicide is hardly a phenomenon confined to 2ch.

Combo Breaker!

Anyway, I think this is kind of funny. You know the media is going to zoom in on how heartless the onlookers were and completely leave out the fact that he was apparently flamebait for months on end before he actually did something.

Really, good riddance to a failure and coward like this guy.

>>>/b/

So I've heard people claim that 2ch is a thousand times worse than 4chan.

>>4 But I agree with Navi on this one - he purposely made himself, to recycle the term, flamebait without considering that it wouldn't be helping him at all. To not realize that 2ch is not the best suicide therapy after that long sort of removes any pity I would have had for him (his life didn't suck completely, anyway, it was just dumb on his part.)

Or maybe he did realize this and was purely trying to justify suicide. In which case, he is a bigger fail than I previously imagined.

In any case, the only pity I feel is towards humanity in general for having to deal with this shit.

There have been stories like this everwhere.
People baiting on 2/4chan and ended up dead.
Wow mate, your dead and you will live on in the lime light for about a mounth before everyone forgets you.

Suicide ticks me off. There's few cases of it being purely justified but, like this, it just seems a bad attempt to get noicted. 2chan wern't going to know that he was going to do it. After all, they get what like a 100 of these people who fake it everyday.

I'm with >>6 Here.

You know, taking a second look at the picture, it looks more like he's chugging beer than killing himself.

This is so horrible =[

>>Man Hangs Himself at 2ch’s Behest
ugh, that is so half the story, >>4 is right
but still can't help but feel horrified at the sight a real suicide, or rather accident..... that's just not right

>>10 Depends. Almost every suicide is just a failed attempt to get atention, like Apple said. Then, it's not right - it can get to be ridiculous or pathetic, as it is a desperate attempt of a weak person.

But, well, if the guy is at the extremous - and I talk about a BIG extremous here -, then it can get to be right. It's just not this guy's case, lol.
