Boy Strangled By Own Tie

(CHICAGO) -- A 12-year-old Chicago boy is dead after he accidentally strangled himself with a necktie he received as a gift from his parents. Robert Dodson liked the tie so much he even wore it to bed. But the tie got caught on the railing of Robert's bunk bed as he was leaping off... and Robert was strangled.

That'll teach you to overdress for bed.

Geez, a terrible thing, but we need something to keep our minds off the market.
