Death / Media / Teh Internets Seattle Rapper Freddy E. Tweets His Suicide?!?

Posted by on Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 12:30 PM

I can't believe this is real. Also: FUCK TWITTER. It's heartbreaking that this human couldn't find another human to talk to, in real time, in real life, sans internet. I wish people still used the telephone. Sincere condolences to his loved ones and family.

More here, on Daily Mail UK, and here on CBS News.

@3 it's Twitter, not someone's private diary. The guy put it out there, what kind of moral high ground does anyone achieve by not posting them?

I feel like you guys would be above posting the actual tweets. This isn't Gawker. As someone who came home this very evening to find out my friend left in the very same way, l cannot even imagine reading this and experiencing this very real pain in such a public way. I will never know if there was anything l could have done but at least it's not out there in the news. How painful for his family. My heart is breaking for them, and anyone who has to experience losing someone in this way. RIP, Freddy. RIP, Tor. I'm sorry you both were in so much pain. I hope uou find peace. You were loved. I am heartbroken.

I just read the first article, but he was talking to people on the day he killed himself. Just because someone posts their suicide note on Twitter or Facebook or other random internet sites doesn't mean anything than if they had written it out by hand.

Although, if it had been hand-written, probably it wouldn't have been published/posted across the internet the way that this story has been. It's in poor taste to have this man's suicide note as an image. There are people out there who are suffering who will see all the attention Freddy E's death is getting and will want the same for themselves.
