Dad Dies in Front of Children as Wife Films Attempt at Viral Trend: ‘She Recorded His Death’
According to Exploding Topics, Americans spend an average of six and a half hours a day online. That’s about a third of the time a person is awake. Of that time, about two and a half hours are spent on social media.
With that amount of time spent in cyberspace, there’s bound to be some confusion as to what’s real and what’s virtual reality. That can be dangerous, even deadly. In a disturbing example of this danger, yet another TikTok challenge is proving to be fatal. One woman filmed her husband’s death as he took up the challenge.
Captain Jim Dennis of Alabama’s Childersburg Rescue Squad explained the tragic trend to KGAN.
