I caught this drama as it unfolded yesterday and I thought it was one of two things:

A. Either this kid was dead
B. It was a hoax

I found it odd that very little of the original story made reference to the fact that this kid was probably dead, which made me think it was a hoax. Now it's revealed these people are reality TV stars or whatever and I think it's pretty clear it's a hoax of somesort.

I don't get people who do these kinds of stunts for attention, but a lot of people do this yearly.
