A student at the University of Southern California has tragically passed away following an incident connected to the Ice Bucket Challenge.
While the exact cause of death has not been officially confirmed, sources say the student began experiencing distress shortly after completing the challenge and later passed away.
The Ice Bucket Challenge, which originally gained popularity as a viral campaign to raise awareness and funds for ALS, typically involves dumping a bucket of ice water over one’s head. It is not yet clear whether extreme exposure or other factors contributed to the student’s death.
USC officials have issued a statement expressing condolences to the student’s family and friends, and the university is offering counseling services to those affected.
An investigation is currently underway, and authorities are urging the public to exercise caution when participating in physically intense or potentially dangerous viral challenges.
More details will be shared as they become available.
