Viral stunt kills girl

A 16-year-old girl in France died attempting the viral “scarf game” — a variation of TikTok’s deadly “blackout challenge” that has claimed several lives over the last year.

Congolese-born Christy Gassaille was reportedly at home when she tried the deadly stunt on May 27.

The dangerous pursuit involves fastening cloth around the neck to asphyxiate oneself until passing out for alleged Internet clout.

Unfortunately, as with the “blackout challenge,” this exploit can restrict the oxygen flow to the brain, causing seizures, serious injury and even death.
