An 11-year-old boy has died playing a viral YouTube “choking challenge”, his devastated family says.
Carson Bodkins' mum Tia said she found his body in his bedroom after he choked himself - and she's issued a heartbreaking warning to fellow parents.
The youngster's mum says he would still be alive today if she and her husband had been aware of the challenge and the signs.
The dangerous game encourages young people to choke themselves until they pass out, but police have warned that the act could lead to serious injury or death.
