11 Year old accidently hangs self with Xbox

[Kuya]

Poor kid, what a ridiculous way to die.

[Antithesis]

The only accidental hanging I've ever seen was in Tarzan.

[Milkster]

Maybe he was trying out erotic asphyxiation for the first time?

[Qalbert]

if only he had Kinect, which removes the controller barrier

[Tajin]

How the fuck did the controllers not come unplugged?

This.

[Day]

Man that sucks, if only he had turned 360 degrees before hopping off the top bunk.

[Kael]

How the fuck did the controllers not come unplugged? My dog barely clips my shit and I have to reconnect it.

Inb4 harakiri for playing a shitty console.

I think it was an Xbox, not a 360.

Meaning no wireless cords, and weighing 4 tons. So the controller cord got wrapped around his neck, and the weight of the Xbrick allowed the cord to keep him suspended from his bunk bed. Either that or the cord itself wrapped around a bar of his bunk bed as well.

Darwin does it again.

Another neighbour, who did not wish to be named, added: 'The word is that it was a tragic accident.

sounds like this person has their doubts also

[Lucavi]

Just another way for Microsoft to hype motion controllers.

"See, kids? You NEED KNECXTX controllers to LIVE~!!"

Buy our products!!!!

[Omnipotent]

Mom: Dinnertime timmy!

Timmy: Coming Mo-----ARGLGARBLBLBLABLRBLLL..

Mom: oh timmy must be masturbating again, ill leave him alone.

I fucking DIED when I saw that, I am going straight to hell. I am crying right now, fuck i'm sick.

xbax controllers also have the security plug.

In my mind I am refusing to believe that someone actually still plays a gen1 xbrick. If that is the case then this is probably just a case of divine retribution for being so far behind the times.

If anything MS could spin this and promote the strength of their cables? I may have to actually suggest this next week.

[MisterBob]

This reeks of something ridiculous. The xbox wired controllers are designed to disconnect at the connector before the usb when any reasonable amount of force is applied.

Did he somehow create some ridiculous tangled network of wires that somehow distributed the force equally enough so that it wasn't eventually applied to the connector? I don't know how this is even reasonably possible.

[Milkster]

Sounds like Mommy was fed up with Timmy.

"If our cable has enough strength and durability to suspend a child in midair, it's strong enough for you." Then put a "Masterchief recommended" seal on the box, with Masterchief using a piano-wire move on someone.

It'd sell.

[Chun Liroy]

If it's bunk beds isn't there a bottom bunk? Couldn't he have just stood on that. And how did the shit get on his neck in the first place.

Exactly what I want to know.

[Kael]

He probably got panicked and started flailing around instead of finding a place to put his feet to keep him up.

can see this happening. But shits still fishy..

[Kael]

Yeah, you would think if he was panicking, that his struggle would have made the cord loosen.
