Since the launch of Yahoo! Live one month ago, my life has been filled with a wide range of emotions. One of our users, known as “Digga” Dame Lee, has been a tremendously positive force in my and many others’ lives since he started broadcasting him and his family’s lives for the World to see. If you haven’t seen his channel which is consistently in the top 5 most popular of the site, visit Digga here.

Dame Lee II, the son of Dame and LaTamra Lee has made several appearences in Digga’s many live performances. Early in the morning on February 26, cries were heard out on the still-rolling Y!Live broadcast from a quite amazing show the night before. When I heard the wails were the result of 3 month old Dame Jr.’s death, my heart dropped.

Digga is pictured the night before the tragedy holding Dame Jr.

When Digga returned on camera, his 300+ viewers slowly started realizing what happened. The baby had died of SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome), which is an unexplainable cause of death in infants under the age of 1. After visiting Digga’s house to pay our condolences and offer any support we could, the Y!Live team was forever changed from this untimely loss.

For those who would like to help, a PayPal donation account has been set up in remembrance of Dame Jr.

Our hearts go out to the Lee family.

Sincerely,
The Yahoo! Live team
