Sad. We had an interesting parallel though much less gruesome story on CoV some time back. As I recall it, (secondhand because I wasn't watching at the time) I believe Magic Jim, a once frequent regular here, once advertised a bogus online death watch on the Internet. I heard that he gathered an incredible-sized audience too. A good lot of them were even actually pissed off that they didn't get to witness a real death, . . . a less sad way to point out the same gruesome truth about people.
