Boy dies playing 'passing out game,' officials believe

The articles states that this is the second such death in recent months. I don't recall such a game from my youth, but then I led an impoverished life. It does put me in mind of a perversion of the children's song. I think this is real, though I only read it in a Life in Hell strip by Matt Groening:

(To the tune of Alouette...)

Suffocation takes coordination;
Suffocation-a game we all can play.
First you take a plastic bag,
Then you stick it on your head.
Go to bed.
Wake up dead.
ooo-oh.
Suffocation-a game we all can play
