New here, but I have a question on a suicide death of a Vegas kid on a
bbs in the early 90s...
reddit / bbs

So, in the 90s I frequented a bbs...  I think it was either Multi-Comm
or a bbs hosted by Melissa Computers. Anyway I knew a kid that chatted
there a lot and we met at a meetup for the bbs. The details are hazy,
but he killed himself online, in the chat room. While we were all
talking. He seemed happy and it came on suddenly.  We were supposed to
go bowling the next day as I remember it. I was just thinking about it
and can't find any info about it, wondering if anyone remembers it. It
was on the news I remember but searches don't turn anything up since
for some odd reason I can't remember his name, although I can picture
his face. I swear I think I blocked some of it out as it was quite
traumatic...

If you visit your local library or local university library, they
should be able to direct you to an article from back then.  Some
newspaper resources online unfortunately do not go back very far.  I
understand how you feel.  A kid I went to driving school with took his
life after one of the sessions.  Never forgot it.
