A 14-year-old boy has died after taking part in a viral trend, according to his family.
Harris Wolobah from Massachusetts died on Friday, officials said, following what his family suspect to be from “complications” due to the “one chip challenge”, although results from a post-mortem are pending.
The cause of the student’s death has not been confirmed, and officials did not share more information about the circumstances around it.
The one chip challenge, popular on TikTok, involves munching on supposedly one of the spiciest tortilla chips in the world, then bearing the heat for as long as possible before eating or drinking something else for relief.
