Man In New York Contacts Orlando Police

MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A 40-year-old Melbourne man who posted his last will and testament on YouTube before taking a large quantity of pills was likely saved on Tuesday after a person in New York saw the video and contacted authorities, Melbourne police said.

The Melbourne Police Department responded to Paradise Boulevard after receiving a phone call from the Orlando Police Department, which was contacted by the person in New York.

The video, in which the man said that he wanted to kill himself by over dosing on unknown pills, was on YouTube for about five hours when the individual watched it, police said.

1. How sad

that it comes down to a digital online goodbye cruel world. I am glad they found him in time.

2. why? so he can stay in the cruel world with us?

I don't know... I mean, I understand having compassion, but I doubt that this is what this guy is going to receive. Our system is known for "saving" people only to later burden them with legal and medical bills because of their "saving".

Just sayin'...
