Video site LiveLeak, best known for hosting gruesome footage that its rivals would never publish, has shut down after fifteen years in business.
In a blog post, LiveLeak founder Hayden Hewitt did not give a clear reason for the site's closure, saying only that: "The world has changed a lot in recent years, the Internet along with it, and we as people."
In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Hewitt did not offer further details, but said that maintaining LiveLeak had become a struggle and that he and his team "simply didn't have the strength to go on."
