'Choking game' leaves Jackson Co. teen dead

JEFFERSON - A deadly game has taken the life of a Jackson County teenager.

It's called the "choking or fainting game." It involves choking oneself and cutting off the blood supply to the brain with the hopes of getting a quick "rush." But it left 16-year-old Michael Nalley of Jefferson dead.

Fox 5 reports that Nalley was found in his bedroom with a belt around his neck.
