A teenager dies after eating a slug, an incident described by his family and friends as occurring following a dare. Reports say the boy ate the garden slug after being urged by friends, and his condition deteriorates afterwards.
Multiple outlets present the same core details, including that the teenager is described as “invincible” by those who knew him and that the dare-based act is central to the account. One report characterizes his case as beginning with paralysis before death, while another focuses more broadly on the fatal outcome following the slug ingestion. Both stories frame the event as a sudden and tragic response to risky peer pressure, with attention on how quickly the consequences become life-threatening.
