TRAGIC!! Family Heartbroken As Teen's Hanging Prank Backfires And Leaves Him Dead (VIDEO)

Pranks and gags are far from being as simple as they used to be. While it often means they are more detailed and thought out, they also can prove to be dangerous and deadly.

That was the unfortunate fate suffered by a Kentucky family this week when 16 year old Jordan Marlon's prank attempt cost him his life.

Jordan's mom, Ginger Rodriguez, said he was trying to prank his little sister and her by pretending to be hanging from a noose decoration he put up on a tree in their front yard. The coroner said when he placed the noose around his neck, he became disoriented cutting his brain off from oxygen within 20 to 30 seconds.

His younger sister discovered him unconscious and Rodriguez rushed to help cut him down, but said she was unable to remove her son.

Morlan was taken to the hospital where he was placed on a ventilator because he was in a coma. Rodriguez says her son's organs started to fail. Jordan died 12 hours after this accident on Monday morning. Full Story
