3rd British man dies from #Neknomination

The deadly game continues.

British salesman Bradley Eames is the latest in suspected deaths resulting from the deadly game.

He filmed himself downing 2 pints of gin (stopping halfway through the first one to gag) and later posted on his social media streams complaining of an upset stomach. Four days later he was dead.
