The perilous choking game, once very popular on social media, has returned to life, the Daily Mail reported. Such games led to the death of a girl in Kunzhou.
It is reported that recently, dangerous "asphyxiation game" is again popular among students in some schools in Brisbane.
People who play the game deliberately suffocate themselves for a short period of time, or with the help of others, to get what they call "pleasure," and the whole process will be filmed. Some people stop before they pass out, but some of the participants fail to stop in time, leading to severe consequences such as coma or even death.
In 2011, a 15-year-old girl died playing suffocating games in Kunzhou. In addition, the death of another teenager in 2016 may also be related to the game.
Kugan (Chrissie Coogan), president of (Kelvin Grove State College) at Kevin Garford State College, warned in an email to parents that social media and video website currently have more than 36 million articles about how to finish the dangerous game. It includes videos of some teaching programs.

(Queensland Health), the Kunzhou Department of Health, also issued a warning that the game could cause serious threat for life safety. A spokesman for the Department of Health warned that such games could lead to death, coma, long-term brain damage and other consequences that were not worth trying.
Suffocating games, which became popular on social media in 2005, have killed many teenagers around the world. In the past October, an 11-year-old boy died in the United States as a result of his participation in the game.
