It’s Time To Go

When the pain is more than you can take
And it starts the moment you awake
It’s Time To Go

When you can’t smile anymore
And everything is an unbearable chore
It’s Time To Go

When Life is a struggle everyday
And you can’t get a break along the way
It’s Time To Go

When you look forward to dying everyday
What’s the use in staying around anyway
It’s Time To Go

When you’re alone and hurting and no matter what you say
People ignore you anyway
It’s Time To Go

When you can’t see physical pain
it is not considered important
but
I’m bleeding from the heart and it’s fatal
and
No one cared to take it seriously.

Don’t people get it?? That young man was reaching out for help. The fact that he published a suicide letter for all to see with an invitation to his suicide was another cry for help. I’m sure there were other cries for help to the people he knew that did not pay attention or take him seriously. HE WAS IN PAIN – MENTAL PAIN. It is serious and in serious cases uncontrollable. The humans in his life failed him. Would those same people sit back and watch a Physically injured person near death and do nothing? I think most likely there would be a different outcome. What makes people think that his pain was less significant and should be dismissed. It’s the stigma that if its mental and can’t be acknowledged with physical symptoms you can’t relate to it so it doesn’t count. You think they are just ‘crazy’ but they are HURTING TERRIBLY. Anyone who is even thinking of ending their own life is in terrible distress. The people closest to him knew of his intentions. I’m sure of it. The fact that he went to the lengths that he did was because nobody paid attention and he wanted to make sure someone did. It’s a terrible shame. That boy could have had a life with the right help. It sickens me to see all his ‘friends’ on his memorial page stating RIP that had blinders on when he was alive and needed them.

Adam: the officer has his hand on his gun because if Biggs was still alive, suicidal people will do anything to die. The officer was making sure that his gun was not grabbed and that no one would be in danger.

actually, according to the globe and mail, moderators of the bodybuilders forum he frequented (and in fact, advertised his suicide on) and several other members alerted police before the stream happened.

However, the globe and mail beleives that they had Biggs address because they could see his IP address, which is false. The only person who knows the address is the ISP. With the IP address, you might be able to find out what town he lives in, but not the exact address.

According to the globe and mail, they entered not long after he died, and covered the camera. Police were "plain-clothed" officers, and wore merely a side-arm. In the picture in the globe and mail, taken directly from the video stream, it shows an officer with his hand on his gun, although for no reason...
