"Get ready for a real-time suicide": Twitter users save transsexual's life after 'live' suicide attempt prompts rescue

http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/twitter-saves-transsexuals-life-after-825746

A transsexual's life was saved by Twitter users who alerted police as he gave live updates of his suicide attempt on the social networking site.

The 47-year-old posted details of his bid to end his own life with a drugs overdose to hundreds of followers.

The man, who describes himself as a "transsexual rockstar" in his profile, first sparked concern when he told users that he had stockpiled medication.

He tweeted: "YAY! get ready for a real-time suicide - cuz i can't be arsed with this unending bull***... triple dose to start..."
