Naruto Fan Commits Suicide

Seeing an anime character die allegedly inspired a 14 year-old Russian boy to jump one hundred feet to his death, says a report.

According to Mail Online, Leonid Hmelev committed suicide after seeing his favorite character, Naruto character Itachi Uchiha, die in anime Naruto: Shippuden. The character’s death reportedly saddened the boy.

It’s been known since 2008 that the character dies.

‘I always told him he spent too much time watching the TV—he didn’t know what was reality and what was fiction anymore,” said his father, Ivan.

Hmelev left home after watching Naruto: Shippuden, leaving a message on a social networking site that he was “planning an ending”. His body was discovered after being missing for two days.

Obviously, there seems to be more going on here, than a simple cause and effect. Still, as Mail Online points out, Russia has the third highest teen suicide rate in the world, behind Belarus and Kazakhstan. Tragic stuff.

I face palm so hard, and yet laugh knowing what happens down the road.

Even though it is not a good way to die, I don't think you should laugh and facepalm at someone's death.


Think about it as if he was your own.

I face palm because he killed himself over a tv character. I laughed because said character comes back to life. And I hope the parents are charged with not taking good care of their kid.

This kid deserves a Darwin Award for sure.

And no, the parents shouldn't be charged. The kid was an idiot, and as such, idiots do stupid things.. like kill themselves over a cartoon character.

The only sympathy here is for the family and friends of the deceased.

That kid should have survived so that he knew what pain felt like, instead of a quick death.
He would have never done something so stupid again. Enough said.

It is a tragic story.  It is not worth it.  itachi uchiha kill his clan

If only he stayed with the series a bit before killing himself.


- SPOILER ALERT -

What makes it even sadder is that Itachi actually comes BACK TO LIFE later on in the story.
