On June 27, a 12-year-old boy from West Yorkshire, UK, named Sebastian Cizman, lost his life after allegedly attempting to recreate a scene from the popular Netflix series Squid Game. He was found hanging in his home and is believed to have been imitating a dangerous challenge to choke himself as a prank.
Investigators suspected that Sebastian’s ‘prankster’ nature and other evidence found on his phone may have led to the challenge gone wrong. The attempted prank reportedly bears similarities to the hit South Korean series and is suspected to be one of many dangerous online challenges targeting youngsters.
