Police probe possible 'Neknomination' death in Wales

Police investigating the death of a 29-year-old man from Cardiff are looking into whether the controversial drinking game "Neknomination" played a part in his death.

Officers and paramedics were called to an address after receiving reports that a man had collapsed after taking part in the game.

The social media drinking craze involves a drinking dare, usually normally 'necking' a pint of alcohol, posting the video online and then nominating one or two people to do the same.

A South Wales Police spokesman said: "We are investigating the sudden death of a 29-year-old man from Rumney during the early hours of February 9.

"Officers investigating his death on behalf of HM Coroner have received information regarding the so-called neck and nominate game. Inquiries are continuing and a post-mortem is taking place."
