Anyway, it's evidently becoming such a problem that a lady whose son broke his neck jumping off a 30-foot-pier decided to make public a photo of the poor kid with tubes coming out of his mouth hooked up to a ventilator in a hospital. "If we can stop someone else from tombstoning by releasing this picture then it will be a bonus," she tells the Sun.
