Man Kills Himself After Encouragement From Chatters


Several chat room users will soon be facing criminal charges for goading a depressed father of two children into killing himself.

Kevin Whitrick, 42, of Telford, Shropshire, UK hung himself after being incited by other chatters.

Friends of Whitrick told reporters that he had been suffering from depression since his marriage ran into troubles and from injuries following a serious car crash.

Authorities investigating his death have interviewed dozens of chatters who were in the chat before and after his death. According to reports, any chatter who urged Whitrick to hang himself could be guilty of assisting suicide.

Very sad, very sad. Anyone involved should go to jail for a long time.
