A teenager who put ketchup on his arms and faked his suicide on a live video website has been charged.
New York state police received several calls on Tuesday night about a young man allegedly broadcasting a suicide attempt over the internet.
Captain Steven Nitrelli says the calls came from as far away as Israel, where the website is hosted.
Nitrelli said police traced the computer address to a home in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence. He says the teenager, who has not been named, admitted the hoax and insisted it was just a joke.
He has been charged with one third-degree count of falsely reporting an incident and will appear in court on October 29.
Police withheld his name because of his age.
