For F***'s sake he can't even do this properly'."Another user who did not wish to be named said: "When Kevin stepped off the chair and was left dangling, the mood in the chatroom changed and people began to realise what they had just seen."We started asking if anyone knew where he lived and saying they should contact the police."I think someone contacted the police in their local area but sadly no one could get to him in time."Shortly after, moderators on the site closed the feed from Kevin's webcam.</blockquote>
