Apparently it’s more common than you think:
The biggest problem about this game “” besides its potential deadliness “” is that it’s fairly easy to hide. Accurate numbers on how many teens try it are hard to pin down. A New Hampshire medical examiner who handled the cases of two teens who died playing the game told the American Academy of Pediatrics that it “boggles my mind how prevalent it is.”

My 16 year old son died from this “game” Please continue to share on this – you may share our son’s story. Parents need to know how many “good” kids are doing this, and dying.
Since losing my 13 year old son Gabriel on May 6, 2005, over 135 more have fallen victim to this high risk, thrill seeking activity…’the choking game’…
educate and warn.. it is saving lives..
