Russian teen leaps from apartment block after seeing his favourite Japanese cartoon c

[Tsujan9484]

A 14-year-old boy leapt more than 100ft to his death from the top of an apartment block in Chaikovsky, Russia, after seeing his favourite manga character killed in a cartoon.



Police say Leonid Hmelev died instantly.
The boy was reportedly devastated after seeing the death of the character Itachi Uchiha in the animated movie 'Naruto - Hurricane Chronicle'.

He left home after posting a message on a social networking site saying he was also 'planning an ending'.
His worried parents raised the alarm after he did not return home and a search was organised together with neighbours.

After being missing for two days his body was found yesterday and he was identified by his devastated father Ivan, 38.
He said: 'I always told him he spent too much time watching the TV - he didn't know what was reality and what was fiction anymore.'

Teenage suicide in Russia is endemic. It has the third-highest teenage suicide rate in the world, just behind its neighbours Belarus and Kazakhstan and more than three times that of the United States.

On an average day, about five Russians younger than 20 kill themselves.

That was stupid. Reminds me of this one.

For one, it's anime, not a cartoon.
For another, get the show's name right.
And lastly, don't play with sand until you know how to control your chakra right.

P.S Sorry I did not know that this topic was already posted. Just found this topic going on in another forum so I share it here.
