Khaberni - The death of a 12-year-old student shook educational and social circles in Britain, after an incident described as "extremely tragic", following his attempt to imitate a fainting scene from the popular series "Squid Game" on Netflix.
According to British newspapers, the student, Sebastian Seizman - a student at "STAR" school - attempted to choke himself to lose consciousness in a blind imitation of the dramatic scene, where he was found unconscious on the stairs with a sheet around his neck, at his family home in West Yorkshire, as published by "Daily Mail".
Despite the desperate efforts made by paramedics to revive him, his death was tragically announced in the hospital, according to "The Sun".
The investigations reveal details
According to the investigations, the scene the boy imitated in "Squid Game" is the same one found pictured on his phone before his death where a man is hanging by his neck, and it was also previously sent in a private family "WhatsApp" group.
Health experts have previously warned about this challenge because it can cause permanent brain damage or death in less than 5 minutes, noting that it has caused the deaths of many children around the world.
Examination of the child's browsing history revealed that he watched a "YouTube" video related to first aid titled "Surviving Choking Alone", although the investigation found no evidence of his participation in dangerous online challenges.
No criminal suspicion
Despite the speculations circulating on social media following the incident, the police confirmed before the court that there was no evidence supporting the hypothesis that the child was involved in deadly challenges widespread on the internet.
On his part, the assistant coroner John Hobson concluded that the death was accidental, describing what happened as "a series of extremely tragic circumstances" where the child performed a deliberate act with no intention of harming himself, which unintentionally ended in death.
At his school, grief pervaded everyone. The headmaster of Saint Wilfrid's Catholic High School, Dr. Philip Door, said that Sebastian was a beloved, cheerful, and talented student in making his classmates laugh.
