New Neknomination Death
Online drinking game, Neknomination, has caused a new death this week after a 20-year-old Nottingham man collapsed after drinking two pints of gin.
Bradley Eames died on February 10, a few days after drinking the spirits.
However, post mortem tests have been unable to confirm his death as a direct result of the game, according to police.
The 20-year-old have posted a video of him performing the stunt on Facebook, which is part of the game.
In the video he opens a bottle of gin and drinks a pint saying: “This is how you drink”, despite appearing unwell he immediately drank another pint before giving the camera a thumbs up.
Mr Eames died only a day after Isaac Richardson, another 20-year-old who also collapsed after participating in Neknomination in southeast London.
Stephen Brooks, 29, Ross Cummins, 22 and Irish teenager Jonny Byrne are also victims of the drinking game.
