Having read the reports, I think it is some form of asphyxiation challenge. Some horrific online stuff out there that kids are too young to know the risks about. I am very wary of what my son does online - he is not allowed to have his phone etc upstairs - I don't necessarily check up on what he is watching but he is always around when he's on his phone so I know he's not up to anything too dodgy (I think)

Yes I heard this.

Terribly sad.

I think the parents are in a state of shock and denial.

He's been described as brain stem dead. If it's the brain stem then yeah unfortunately he's dead or dying and will not survive

Too many of these crazy challenges. I remember AJ off strictly and his girlfriend doing one to record to show their followers on Instagram. It involved setting fire to a wine bottle to make a vase. The whole thing ignited and set alight to Abbie his girlfriend.

These challenges are often an accident waiting to happen.
