A 27-year-old Sichuan province resident who went online to describe his feelings after consuming a deadly chemical in a suicide attempt on Wednesday has been rescued and is recovering at a hospital in Ya'an, an official of the local public security bureau said yesterday.

The man, who was not named, started broadcasting his physical sensations at 1:11 am on Tianya.cn, a major online forum, after he admitted consuming aconitine.

Hundreds of netizens who read the live posts persuaded the man to give up the attempt to die and rush to a hospital.
