A mother is in mourning after her 11-year-old son took his own life when his 13-year-old girlfriend “faked her own death” for a prank, The New York Post reports.
Tysen Benz died in a Michigan hospital on Tuesday, with his mother telling reporters his death was related to a sick online joke pulled on him by his girlfriend and her friends.
“She did a prank that made it look like she killed herself and used other friends and their [social media] accounts to make it look like she killed herself,” Tysen’s mother Katrina Goss told The New York Post.
