Yes, the incident occurred in England again. Tom Mullaney is a 15 year old schoolboy who hanged himself back in 2010 because of getting bullied in Facebook by trolls. The bullies and the sole reason for the bullying was not identified, but it was reported that a secret web trolling community has caused this tragedy... and they don't seem feel like quitting their act yet. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1280171/Schoolboy-15-hangs-plagued-bullies.html
When I saw the anonymous response from one of the trolls, my heart felt cold. I understand they are just doing it for fun and should not be taken seriously, but people should understand the Internet is still connected to real life, and more uncertain things happen outside the screen. The respondent may have just sounded cold to get a stunning reaction, but I know that he/she felt it in the gut somehow.
