Neknomination could result in manslaughter charges

After the death of a third Brit from the drinking game Neknominate, lawyers have today warned that if more people die those who nominated them could be charged with manslaughter.

Bradley Eames, 20, became the third person to die from the game after downing two pints of gin. Stephen Brooks and Isaac Richardson were the first two victims of the game.

Bradley was found dead in his home four days after filming his nomination. It is understood police are using the video in their investigation.

Solicitor Julian Young of Julian Young and Co. said of future nominations: “If a person knew, because of all the publicity, and said, “I have been watching it on the news, I nominated my mate and thought he would be all right but knew there was a risk” you could have grounds for a prosecution. It might be manslaughter.

“There is a possibility, if someone knew what the outcome could be, that it could cause death, there could be a prosecution.”

He continued to say that even if the stunts don’t end in death people could find themselves in court facing grievous bodily harm charges.

The police’s post-mortem on Bradley Eames proved inconclusive.
