A fellow chat-room user called police after a Shropshire man committed suicide live on webcam. Police were called to the residence of Kevin Neil Whitrick, from Wellington in Shropshire.
After resuscitation attempts failed, Mr Whitrick was pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of death was confirmed as hanging.
According to his ex-wife, he was involved in a very serious car accident and had never really recovered. At the time of his death, Mr Whitrick was father to 12-year-old twins.
