Happens all the time, sadly.

DUUUUUUDE!

That's 7 miles from where I live.

Actually, this is so very sad. Young people can do such stupid things without realizing it. And some pay the ultimate price.

Gene pool improves by one notch. Tragic but incredibly stupid.

Unfortunately, you're right. A friend and I were entering his house in high school only to find his brother freshly passed out on the couch with a buddy hovering over him. They were making each other pass out.

They were surprised when we called them dorks, and told them how unsafe that was.

I heard a story on the Michael Savage show a couple of weeks ago about a teenage girl who died like this too. The parents were devastated.

[wallcrawlr]

dumb for sure.

terrible tragedy non the less.

feel bad for the family.

The Pattons said their son was very friendly and easygoing.

As he had done this a number of times...he also had some issues.

[Nathan Zachary]

More Lefties should take up that game.

[rockabyebaby]

Yep, here's your sign pal!

I have a friend in the FBI who says they have a huge file of investigations along these lines....unfortunately, kids and adults do it all the time. Parents get these kooky ideas that it was some kind of ritual killing or that someone else was involved. Then they bring in an expert who has the awful job of showing the parents (if they persist) the hundreds of other files on kids and adults who do this to themselves......UGH.

"To do this alone is, I think, a difficult thing, so he tried something, was not thought through, and he got himself into something he could not get out of without help," said Jeff's father, Dennis Patton.

PSA: "Yes kids, when cutting off the oxygen to your brain, always make sure you use the buddy system."

Knowing these lefties, they'll try to play Russian Roulette with an automatic, seeing how they're not that knowledgeable about guns.

This is basically how Vaughn Bode died...

[rockabyebaby]

What happened to playing softball, or football or basketball for a rush???? How about reading a good book for a rush?

How about listening to Rush for a head rush!

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Was probably also masturbating at the time. A youth in our town died that way a few years ago.

[Mo1]

Patton had been doing something he had done in the past: playing a game in which the object was to pass out.

Words fail me

Woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo.....woo-hoo, woo-hoo-hoo....
