My Death Space
 

Has anyone posted about this? Has anyone been here? Basically, its where all the people who have died's myspaces are archived and it tells a little about what happened to them.

I personally found it very sad, because it puts a face to the names you see in the news. Most deaths are car related, and its not suprising to say the least, but there are quite a few suicides and shootings as well.

I think this is a good topic of discussion because many people think this will lead to more suicide amongst teens, and I think its just the opposite. Its sad to me.

Edit: Evidentally I cant post URLs, because I dont post much, if at all:(

Figures, Ive been visiting the site since it actually had MP3s, but every crash resulted in me posting less and less.

the site is mydeathspace.com

Man, a quick browse through this site already has shivers going down my spine. I don't think this is a site I'll like much.

I found this kinda disturbing. Its like a graveyard for all the people you rag on when you make jokes about myspace.

Oh fuck this... I didn't even feel like posting more. This is MySpace after all and guess what? No rurprises here, my friends.

Any feelings of sadness I might have for any of these people were immediately blocked after seeing this website's colorful matching buttons for sale.

That sounds pretty morbid. To me, Myspace just seemed like an interactive hybrid of Live Journal and your own glorified website. I've even heard people talking about it in public, including friends who wanted me to make my own profile and add them. Maybe I've underestimated their community, but I still say whatever it's not my cup of tea.

R.I.P.

The thing that creeps me out is how people leave comments on their dead friends' MySpaces that sound like they're actually still alive. For me, that just is disturbing.

It's rather sad to see how a lot of these people died, especially the suicides and drunk driving accidents. It's so cliche, but horrible to see it put right in front of you.

Just for shits and giggles...

YOU BROKE MY LIFE.

It will only be funny to those who were in that argument pre-crash. :p

I just hate how young all of them are. Average age seems to be 17-22. I hate that our society seems to find suicide so easy to turn to. Ive hit rock bottom before, and Ive never considered suicide in the least.

400+ Deaths...>_>

I'm amazed Myspace still has customers.

This site doesn't have everyone on it. There are at least five kids from my high school that have died that had MySpace pages, and none of them are on there.

Also, I can't stop reading these.

He gets more then he can add. He doesnt update as someone dies.

Obviously, but all of them have been dead anywhere from one month to a year and a half.

Well, I think the reason for that is that he runs the site purely on hearsay submissions. You probably know of the kids who died from your school, but if no one submitted them to the webmaster, then obviously they won't show up here.

Why is this site so... oddly fascinating?

Not to sound like a cruel asshole, but this is like an online obituary for all the people you hated in high school.

The thread Capo made right? I couldn't remember who did what to that boy's Myspace that drove him to actually kill himself. I vaguely remembered there were authorities involved?

Myspace is like a gathering site for suicidal teens. They should just call it Diespace.

Anyways, R.I.P.

Yeah, I just realized that there is a "Submit a Death" link at the top.

Wow..some of these deaths were brutal. What a terrible brother.

I cant post links yet, but there is one of two people who climbed inside of a helium filled balloon and died.

Some of these are because of stupidity, but the drunk driving ones always catch my eyes.

What exactly do you mean that you can't post the link?

Getting back on topic... So many of them are suicides. Should I be suprised or not?

Awful lot of suicides alright, then again myspace does have millions of members so some people were bound to be, erm, upset.(to avoid controversy)

Oh that's just fucked up. They're gaining profit from people who have died while having a myspace account?

Jesus.

Its the circle of life. Myspace is an internet monster. Something like this was bound to happen eventually.

He doesn't have enough posts to be able to post links, yet.

Ontopic... This is both strangely gruesome and interesting at the same time.

See, now, I found it really interesting. I think it's good that people have a place that they can "talk" to a person they miss. Yea, sure, it's MySpace. But this seems to be a popular medium for kids around their age.

I think it's kind of neat.

Of course, I'm sick in the head.

I also spent the last 20 minutes reading some of those links posted by Enceph. Really kind of sad, you know.

And I really doubt it has anything to do with MySpace. If you consider how many goddamned accounts MySpace has these days, it's only probable that you're going to see a lot of teenagers dying. Suicides happen with teenagers a lot - MySpace is just a big clusterfuck of a bunch of kids anyways.

I think it's interesting. But I think the cashing in on kids' deaths (MyDeathSpace) is fucking retarded. Suppose any way to make a buck is alright these days.

Wish I'd thought of it first.

A girl commited suicide and I got hurt by a football.


After reading that, I had no feelings for the suicide girl and wish the other girl was taken with the suicide girl.

That is just plain wrong. The proper respect isn't even given to the deceased girl.

R.I.P. (including grammar and syntax)

You know what's even more disturbing? How at random times of the day some of those people's MySpaces show them as "ONLINE NOW".

It's like even death can't keep them away from their online narcissism. :/

Heh that's what happens when you have ghetto kids and preppy kids i'm not excluding rockers from this but its mostly preps and ghettos.Who make fun of kids because of what they're into,calling them ugly and such.I think this site is good the people who picked on them,dumped them,hurt them physically should be forced to look through this site everyday and realize what they did and are doing is down right wrong

Bear in mind a good number of these could very well be faked deaths >_> But yeah I'm lol'ing at some of the fucktards who committed suicide. For weirdass reasons. Suck it up, pull up your pants, get on with your lives you little drama shits.

I saw the pins and thought "Venture Brothers? =O"

We had a good laugh about that one at work earlier

Call me an asshole, but I don't get what I am supposed to react to. These people are thirteen. Do you really expect really sophisticated, well-considered thoughts in a nice literary flow?

THEY'RE KIDS. This chick didn't even KNOW the girl who committed suicide! Why is it so HORRIBLE that she jumped from one subject to another with virtually no segue?

Unless theres a joke I don't get somewhere in there.....?

Plus... It was taken from a blog. It wasn't an exclusively written obituary like the majority of the rest are. :/

The transition was the funny part. It just seems to be the ADD mentality of myspace.

I can understand your stance on this completely though. Kids that age dont seem to fully understand situations like this.

For some reason, I can't stop looking through this website. It's captivating.

Edit: This one is the saddest one i've read. http://www.mydeathspace.com/deaths.a...7-74e0cebc1360

So many were too young to believe their lives were so horrible that they had to commit suicide.

Its funny to think that in the Roman era, it was not frowned upon to run on ones own sword, and now, suicide is considered one of the dumbest and saddest, as well as illegal things to do. I guess the circumstances were much different with the Romans, but its interesting to watch society change.

Pretty depressing place, but fun to read at the same time. I think this will lead to cancer. I hope Jack Thompson stumbles upon the site one day.

"I WILL SUE EA FOR SKITCHIN' ON SAYGAH GENESAS"

Yeah, I've seen xangas and stuff where the person died and the blog is immediately flooded with comments talking to them as if they're still alive. Pretty much everyone does it... like those scenes in movies where the person talks to the grave of a loved one. The living just find it comforting, I guess.

I'm actually pretty amazed at the number of suicides... You really have to hit ROCK BOTTOM to go through with that... I wonder what kind of lives they led? What family backgrounds they had? How their peers treated them? And drunk driving deaths continue to infuriate me. You've seen it a million times, people... Don't. Drive. Drunk. Why would you even do that...

By the way, I agree that this mydeathspace could possibly contribute to the suicide count... Depressed, impressionable kids seeing all these public declarations of love to people who were only in the shadows when they were alive... Well, kids might think that's the only way to get attention. Somtimes it's so hard to suck it up and get on with your life.

You wanna know what's even funnier? That depending on where you are suicide carries a penalty with it. For example: if you only attempt suicide it's only considered a misdeameanor, but if you actually succeed... IT'S A FELONY.

I was also told by an acquaintance who's a paralegal assistant that that felony actually carries prison time, but I've never found any evidence to support that claim.

Suicide has got to be one of the least thought-out subjects ever covered by law.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess you're one of the 11 people on the whole planet who's never been threatened with a broken beer bottle by a beligerent drunk who got uppity when you tried to take his keys.

Oh.

It's good to know people care on MySpace.

"HEY! SOMEONE AT YOUR SCHOOL DIED TODAY! BUT GET THIS, A FOOTBALL HIT MY FINGER! OOOOOOWWWIIIIIE! FEEL SORRY FOR ME! :("

I... haven't... But... what does that have to do with it? I'm talkin' directly TO people--not their friends. I mean, trying to prevent your friends from drunk driving is awesome, but... not always possible. Gotta weight the risks. If you're more likely to get injured by stopping them... maybe let them go or something. But yes. Not talkin' to the friends. :doh:

its sad really almost all of those are sucide but the wierd thing is that all of those sucides are mostly 13 - 16-ish kids...are kids this fucked up i mean whoa

supress those feelings and becoming emo/goth don't go kill your self.. =/

Yeah kind of seems to me that these kids find suicide cool (well not cool but you get the picture) or something. Its scary to think also that misery loves company, I mean would suicide have always been a likely cause of death for 13-16 yr olds?

The thing is, you can die, and survive. You can even drown, and survive, so what if you hang yourself, you stop breathing and your heart stops beating, yet they resucitate you (Sp)? I think its possible the very very unlucky ones survive.

The question on hand I think should be...

Would putting them on probation and/or in jail reaaalllyyyy make them feel better about themselves? I think its more fuel for the fire.

I just spend half an hour browsing through that site. All of the deaths seems so tragic, but that's life, and it can't be helped.

ALL of the deaths seem tragic? I spent some time perusing that site yesterday, and quite a few of them were absolutely hilarious.

I found this one to be sad that the girl had to have a prick for a boyfirend..

Childbirth complications

And this one kinda confuses me...

Executed by The State of Texas for Murder

I thought that prisoners didnt get access to the internet, let alone a myspace account! I am not a big fan of the death sentance, but the guy commited a brutal murder and people are responding to the memorial site as if he was the greatest guy on earth.

The things that Americans think of.

Psh.

I believe others created a myspace for him.

Sucks to die in this day and age.

People did the same for Tookie Williams but the nigga was still executed. What's seems to be the problem, officer?

Indeed.

Even I contemplated and almost went through with it. But I haven't seen any reason to get upset like this for months.

Somehow I don't feel any remorse for the suiciders. Never the best option, WTF. Talk to people or family. Jesus.

Yeah, I can't believe some the things people are saying... Feeling sorry for him for his crimes. Disgusting. Scum like "it" deserve to die. May he burn in hell for all eternity for his brutal and horrific crimes. I don't see how his parents can still love him. My parents would disown me and cut all ties from me and deny my existance if I was in that same position.

Yeah, but Tookie turned his life around in an effort to help others who might follow down the path he took. This guy has done nothing like that.

Actually, you'd be surprised how much freedom the prisoner's get. They are allowed some internet access depending on the prison, but it's suppose to be monitored. However, b/c of the "christian conversion" scam story and/or b/c some law enforcement officials try to be all buddy-buddy with the inmates, there may be a possibility that he was about to actually use the site himself. However, as someone mentioned before, it may have been a buddy that did it, but I wouldn't doubt it if he were allowed on the internet. Heck, some are even purposely trained in prisons to fix computers and network problems.

Let's consider MySpace's demographic for a moment, Sherlock. You don't see a lot of balding, middle-aged people on there. They've got better things to do, and if suicide is one of those things, they've learned to just go get it done without whining to the internet about how the the music of Green Day was the only thing that kept them going this long.

Most of the suicide pages are from teenagers because MySpace's constituency is - surprise - mostly teenagers!!



Anyhow, the site's kinda interesting if you're like me and have a rather morbid curiosity. Death doesn't upset me, so I can read the accounts with moderate detachment.

Of course, I was momentarily shaken when I saw, upon the second page, the MyDeathSpace obituary of a girl from my own town. I read about her accidental death last month, in the local papers. I worked with her older brother in a Perkins restaurant several years ago.

Kinda shocking to unexpectedly come face to face with a death report of someone who actually had relevance to my own life, instead of random people from across the country.

But this won't stop me from reading about the other deaths. It's fascinating to find a collection of people I'll never meet.

K, little creepy, but at the same time interesting. I find it weird that someone would post stuff like this, but it gives some understanding of society in different places of the world. It shows how people can be affected by crimes, suicide, etc.

I sad to read however, and I probably will only check it out this one time. The last thing I need to be thinking about is how young people die.... :(

lol, myspce.

Working hard to reach the minimum number of words per post I see.
