"Sadly, Canadian police believe that they have found the body of Brandon Crisp, a 15 year old that ran away from home in early October after his parents took away his Xbox 360 privileges. Apparently, he had become obsessed with Call of Duty 4 and action was taken after it began to affect his grades. The boy was found on the Oro Medonte Rail Trail outside of Barrie, Ontario with a tent and a meager supply of food. Police are awaiting the pathology report before confirming the boy's identity. Ugh...I can't even imagine what his parents must be feeling right now." [CP24 via Kotaku]

Really sucks. MS even put out a pretty big reward if he was found.

Obviously a mentally disturbed kid. Sad nonetheless. RIP.

what his parents are feeling right now?

When you let a boy play COD4 religiously for god knows how long, then take it away instantly, hes gunna go crazy. Parents fault, but the kid is an idiot for being so stupid as well.

Ive always wanted to see a kid walking out because his/her parents are being ridiculous and not coming back for a long time (not dead)

Kids got balls, too bad hes dead.

Wow, kids these days. At 15 I was more worried about going to parties and getting pussy.

The parents should have never let it get that serious.

i would think he would not have died from exposure....i dont see a fifteen year old staying out and being killed by the elements. it said there was food there, so he didnt starve. at some point, the survival instinct kicks in and you seek shelter...

i could be wrong, but it just seems weird.

he prolly got attacked by a dog, but figured he could just martyrdom the dog if he was killed, so let the dog kill him.

Foul play ruled out.

no, they said there is no indication....that means he didnt have stab or gunshot wounds that they could see when they found the body....

Forensic scientists are having trouble identifying the body because the teen is believed to have had martydom turned on.

Sad that he died over a video game. According to the other related articles, he spent a load of time on CoD4. I guess when his parents decided to remove the only social identity he ever had, he just snapped.

RIP.

No, no, he probably forgot to press the action button

I see it happen all the time

That or he wanted full health and was waiting for that respawn timer that never came
