“I was met by the chaplain, and they said, ‘We need to pray,’ ” Presson told ABC8 News, and added that Leah had previously participated in the dangerous trend. “I don’t even want to think about a funeral because I feel like there’s still hope and everybody’s like, giving up too soon.”
He added, “I believe in miracles, that she’s definitely a miracle baby.”
Now, per the NY Post, her father, Richard Presson, has confirmed Leah has passed away.
Despite warnings, experts say the trend continues to resurface online, putting vulnerable teenagers at risk.
Social media has seen many similar dangerous trends in recent years. There have been calls for social media companies to help prevent the spread of these trends, for example, on TikTok.
