A joke is no longer funny when it becomes a “Gun Death”.
Authorities say a Kentucky teenager known as a jokester was strangled by a dog lead he put around his neck while playing with friends at the start of summer vacation.
Estill County Coroner Tony Murphy said Monday that 16-year-old Tony Conley died near his home in eastern Kentucky when he apparently jumped off an outdoor deck staircase and the dog lead tightened around his neck. He called it a freak accident and a terrible tragedy.
Murphy says friends tried but were unable to cut the metal cable and Conley was pronounced dead at the scene Friday evening.
Man, horrible enough that a young kid was killed for a laugh…but his friends were along for the horrible ride in attempting to save him when it all went wrong.

I’m sure you’re a “grab the bull by the horns” kind of guy when it comes to finding your own “gun death files”, but this one can’t be missed:
