In the video, she said that she had been depressed for a long time, and even after being hospitalized for more than two months, the happy look in her usual works was only for everyone to be happy after seeing it.
"But lately I really can't hold back, if you want to know the reason, just come to trumpet to watch my live broadcast." Rest assured, this live broadcast must not be carrying goods or advertisements. ”
The reporter noted that on May 24, "Luo Kitten Cat" posted a set of photos on another platform, and some netizens noticed that there were some red scratches on her wrists, and the text she accompanied the picture was "Summer is hot, you are so sweet."
"Drinking it is purely the coaxing of people in the live broadcast room"
During the live broadcast, "Luo Kitten Cat" took out a bottle of brown liquid, drank it in one gulp, and held up the empty bottle and said, "I have drunk it just now." After drinking, she pinched her neck and looked very uncomfortable.
According to media reports, during the live broadcast, some netizens left messages encouraging her to "drink quickly".

In a video of "Luo Kitten Cat", the user "You are the most precious" once commented: "Hahaha really drunk." After the comment was deleted, the platform could not search for the user.
Checking the official Weibo of the live broadcasting platform, we saw that netizens "you are the most precious" have been banned from their accounts, citing the crackdown on online violent speech:
Yesterday, the media also interviewed the family of "Luo Xiao Cat Cat", whose family said that they were dealing with the aftermath of Luo Xiao Cat cat in Shandong, and there were netizens in the live broadcast room at the time of the incident, and the legal responsibility of the person who started the cajole would be investigated.

Subsequently, the reporter contacted ms. Pan, the media public relations of the live broadcast platform, who said that they also needed to discuss and verify the matter and did not respond for the time being.
Netizens who instigated suicide during the live broadcast
What kind of legal liability will be incurred?
Yesterday, Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, said in an interview with The Paper:
Short video platforms belong to network service providers and have the responsibility to review the information posted by users. This matter occurred during the live broadcast, and the responsibility for the platform can be analyzed from the following aspects.
1. Suicide information is illegal information, and all platforms should take measures in this regard. But can keywords or related information appear during the live broadcast so that the platform can judge and confirm that this is a "suicide"?
2. The number of people in the live broadcast room during the live broadcast. If the number of people is large, the platform audit responsibility is higher.
3. Although the platform makes a ban measure afterwards, can it be reviewed and evaluated in advance? If the platform is first reviewed and then released content, of course, there will be no live broadcast industry. However, if the relevant staff finds that there are violations of laws and regulations during the inspection process, they should be deleted. In addition, there will be reports during the live broadcast process, at which time the platform has the right to take retroactive measures, especially now many live broadcasts can be watched back.
Zhu Wei introduced that this incident shows that the platform should fully adopt the combination of multiple measures such as posthumous sealing, on-site ban, and on-site supervision to conduct live broadcast supervision. Live broadcasting platforms should establish a way to combine artificial intelligence review with smooth reporting channels, including the platform's review and capture of sensitive words, to supervise a large number of live broadcast rooms.
Zhu Wei also believes that some onlookers in the live broadcast room now rely on on-crowds to vent their emotions, and some onlookers only want to be quick for a while, regardless of the consequences. "Therefore, from the perspective of ethics and social responsibility, the onlookers in this incident should be held responsible." Zhu Wei said.
Ding Jinkun, a lawyer at Shanghai Dabang Law Firm, analyzed that:
Netizens who left messages in the live broadcast for the owner to drink were suspected of helping suicide. If it is found that the message has a direct causal relationship with suicide, the netizen is suspected of intentional homicide. If the message does not have a direct causal relationship with suicide, but renders the atmosphere of the suicide scene, makes a disturbance, and has an indirect role in promoting suicide, it is also a violation of the "Public Security Administration Punishment Law" and will be punished by public security. At the same time, suicide by cajoling is also a civil tort, and the perpetrator must bear the corresponding civil liability.
In addition, lawyer Ding Jinkun said that the short video platform live broadcast of suicide programs violated public order and good customs, and the suicide behavior of the owner was not discovered and stopped in time during the live broadcast. If the platform fails to perform its duties, it shall bear the corresponding administrative and civil liabilities.
Lawyer Ding Jinkun said that the platform must not live broadcast suicide and other information that violates public order and good customs, and violators will be punished in accordance with the Cybersecurity Law. Article 9 of the "Provisions on the Administration of Internet Live Streaming Services" also stipulates that Internet live streaming service providers and Internet live streaming service users must not use Internet live streaming services to engage in activities prohibited by laws and regulations, such as endangering national security, undermining social stability, disrupting social order, infringing on the lawful rights and interests of others, or disseminating pornography, and must not use Internet live streaming services to produce, reproduce, publish, or disseminate information content prohibited by laws and regulations.
