A juvenile was charged Thursday in the death of an 11-year-old boy who committed suicide after a social media prank.
Tysen Benz, of Marquette, Michigan, died on Tuesday of injuries sustained from trying to hang himself on March 14. His mom, Katrina Goss, told The Post that she believes her son attempted to commit suicide as a result of an online stunt.
Marquette County Prosecutor’s Office charged the minor, who is not being identified, with malicious use of a telecommunications device and using a computer to commit a crime.
The charges came after Goss called on Thursday for those involved to be prosecuted. It is unclear if the juvenile was taken into custody.
