Abraham K Biggs, from Broward County, took an overdose of pills while broadcasting himself on Justin.tv, a live video streaming website.
The 19-year-old used the site to stream footage from a webcam in his bedroom, after telling users he would be committing suicide and inviting them to watch live.
He posted a suicide note in which he said he had hurt other people and hated himself for being a failure.
The teenager then took several pills before lying on the bed with his back to the camera.
Forum members reportedly continued to insult him, believing his actions were staged.
As the film rolled, viewers eventually managed to contact the local police who broke down the door, found the boy's body and turned off the camera.
Biggs's death has been confirmed by the Broward County medical examiner, according to Fox News.
