Schoolboy, 14, found hanged 'in fainting game' was about to become a father

A 14-year-old boy who was found hanging at his grandparents home is thought to be the latest victim of the 'fainting game'. Liam Hardy - who was about to become a father - was found unconscious at the home in Sutton. He was taken to the St George's Hospital in Tooting but died eight days later. As reported by the Evening Standard, it is feared he may have become another victim of the 'fainting game' - in which young people choke themselves to achieve a brief high. It is a craze which started in America and campaign groups say 86 people may have died in Britain as a result of the game.
