Police believe they have discovered the body of a missing teen, Brandon Crisp of Barrie, Ontario, who reportedly ran away from home on October 14th because of a dispute involving his gaming console, an Xbox 360.
His parents claim that his grades had been slipping due to playing Call of Duty 4 and took away the console as punishment.
The 15 year old then disappeared, last seen biking on a trail around 5:45pm. A reward for information on him had topped $41,776 CAD. On October 24th what appeared to be his body was found with a blue-checkered jacket, tent, crackers and a bag of chips on a trail off Fifth Lane in Barrie, Ontario.
Sgt. Dave Goodbrand, involved in investigations of this case, told CTV. “It’s not confirmed because nothing’s confirmed until we have pathology, but we believe it to be Brandon.”
Nothing else has been released as of yet.
I bet they’re going to blame the game, if it turns out the kid killed himself.
Poor kid, whatever happens. =(
So, because he got his console taken away, he ran away?
Lord, what is the world coming to.
I feel sorry for the parents, I just can’t belive a teenager ran away because his “precious” console was taken away.
I feel bad for the kid, but I can’t help but think he’s an idiot. Some kids really are spoiled. I hope this teaches a lesson to other emonic teenies that think that their lives are so horrible just because mommy and daddy won’t buy them a new screen TV.
