TRAGIC: Teen Dies After Breaking His Neck From Ice Bucket Challenge!

Last week, 17-year-old Sergio Cardozo of Mississippi was nominated for this challenge. Instead of financially giving to charity, he set off to his backyard, helmet and all, to complete the Ice Bucket Challenge with his two friends. His friends stood above with a giant bucket of ice ready to help Sergio fulfill the challenge.



Tragically, the bucket slipped out of his hand crashing onto Sergio’s head. He was rushed to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in critical condition. He later succumbed to his injuries. Sergio’s family is hoping that this video will raise awareness of the risks involved in participating in the Ice Bucket Challenge. The family is encouraging people to send in their tax deductible donation to ALS, rather than complete the challenge. They are currently in the process of setting up a fund in his name.
