Internet phenomenon Aaron Swartz takes his own life after MIT prosecution




On Friday, Aaron Swartz's body was found in his Brooklyn home where he committed suicide. Swartz, who was a co-developer of RSS and helped establish the online site Reddit, took his life after facing legal issues for his alleged involvement in a hacking case involving the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Swartz was being accused of taking documents from protected computers and was later indicted for stealing information from the MIT and it is believed that the Internet prodigy's legal troubles and history of depression lead him to take his own life. Marina Portnaya joins us to take a look back on Swartz's life.
