Alfie Hyett, 10, was found collapsed at his home in March. A BOY of ten is feared to have died from the “choking game” internet craze that has already claimed the life of another youngster.
Alfie Hyett collapsed in his bedroom from a rare condition that stops the heart and kills in less than two minutes.
Grieving mum Louise Hembrow, 43, who found him hanged, believes he had been playing the choking game.
She has issued a warning to parents about the craze in which participants restrict oxygen flow to the brain to create a temporary euphoria.
Those taking part film themselves and post videos online.
It is also known as “the good boys’ game” because it does not involve booze or drugs.
Louise, from Hereford, told of Alfie’s death after The Sun revealed Karnel Haughton, 12, died playing the game earlier this month. He is thought to have lost consciousness and suffocated in his room in Birmingham.
