Tevin Park-Flowers

Seven-year-old Tevin Park-Flowers was found hanging by his neck in the bathroom of his grade school in North Austin, Texas. The boy's shirt was hooked to the ceiling, and the neck of the shirt was caught tight around his neck. The boy died at the hospital two days later.

Students told police that a popular game at the school is called the 'Run and Jump Game', in which students run along benches lining the walls of the school's bathroom and try to touch the ceiling. ¹ Police have found parallels between this case and the choking game, but have no evidence to date.¹
