Default Epic Twitter hoax
Was looking at my Twitter earlier and ended up following this as the third to last tweet came in, a bisexual kid fed up of people teasing him claims to have tied a rope to his neck and jumped off a hospital roof. Massive outpouring of grief and support has ensued unlike any I've seen in this circumstance. Mind you there's a chance he actually killed himself hence this thread, but based on my 3 year history with Twitter I'll title it a hoax for now. Regardless, the power of the internet really is remarkable.

Epic hoax? Lame, if it is a hoax. The way people treat sensitive issues/events really disgusts me.

What was he tying around his neck in the second last post if he said he had to go get rope in the last post?

Really poor taste if it's a hoax. And if it's not... well, cry for help? Was it answered?

A link, but it doesn't solve anything.

Apparently his twitter is deleted?


This dude claims a hoax:

Fox will be back and once he gets caught he'll start flaming posters again until he gets banned.

If it's real = lame.
If it's a hoax = ######ed.

He finally listened to his autoTuner tracks and ended it. I know I wanted to.
