    I almost laughed at this.

    That's really sad....

    but the thought of the XBOX being in jail made laugh a little.

    I'm guessing the wired one, don't ask me how I know... it's just a fucking hunch.

    Oh and it's perfectly normal to laugh at the death of the child, I mean, it's not like he had his whole life to look forward to. You tosser. What happened to your whole 'all life is sacred' bullshit? Again, you're a tosser.

    I laughed at the thought of the controller, not the kid.

    I think its perfectly feasible to think the Wireless Controller strangled the poor kid.

    Also, this is a terrible story, so sad just thinking about it.

    Am I the only one wondering how the hell you can get tangled in a wired 360 controller and hang yourself? The wire would have to be tied to something before hand so that the cord doesn't just fall out of it's USB port or the trip prevention thing Xbox has, or pull over the Xbox.

    yeah that's a bit odd. I've got a lot of consoles with wired controllers and none of them would hold a controller in against someone's weight.

    They just fly off a shelf, I mean for it to hang someone, you'd need the wire to be son incredibly tangled up in the bed post in such a way that it stays there and can carry the kid. And I see little way how it can be tangled that bad.

    Hell, even Xbox's have a break away for the cable, that way it doesn't pull of the 360 from a shelf.

    maybe it the console was screwed on the base and the controller was super glued to the controller...

    Did they considered foul play? I remember someone telling me that if i don't stop playing with the ps that they would feed it to me... so maybe the mother was pissed off at the son and strangled him with the controller? it far fetched but investigator should consider every angle.

    Wait! He was on his bunk bed with a cord wrapped around his neck... how? Is he a feather? How did the Xbox controller not get unplugged by his weight?

    Oh lord. I feel awful for smiling over that.

    In all seriousness, though : Poor thing... terribly sad this happened to such a young child. Terrible it happened to a kid in general.

    Also, I'm pretty sure no one here is really that big of an ass to laugh at the death of a kid. ::)

    My condolences to the family. I can't imagine it was the happiest family as it was considering how hung up the kid got on the games.

    I guess the kid just wanted to hang out by himself.

    Might of just been a case of his so-called friends going off somewhere and leaving him hanging as well.

    The kid must've been pretty wired to have an Xbox in his own room.

    Welp, unless you want to die early, you've just gotta lighten up, y'know?

    What a tangled mess this kid got himself into

    Yes, and we seem to be getting rather tied up in this thread too.

    Probably should be careful from now on so we don't get hung up on this.

    maybe the wire was wrapped around the bedpost a couple of times, that would be strong enough to hang an 11 year old. what would he weigh? 50kg?
