A 10-year-old girl was found brain dead in home of his parents, after challenge suffocation through TikTok.
A 10-year-old girl was found unconscious on Thursday at his home in Palermo, Italy with a belt tied around his neck. His parents immediately took it to the local hospital of Palermo, where he was found to be brain dead.
According to the police authorities, the girl drowned by herself, during a Blackout challenge, through the social network platform TikTok. Her parents decided to donate the girl's organs.
The Blackout Challenge, and a milder variant of it, called the Passout Challenge, have been launched on TikTok in the last year.
Experts have warned of the dangers associated with the challenges, such as fainting, seizures, brain damage and even death.
