Rest In Peace




Rest In Peace Brandon Crisp. This 15 year old boy left his home on Thanksgiving evening after a disagreement with his parents over his Xbox 360 game. After days of tireless searches his body was found in a wooded area in my area of Ontario. This makes me sad as I could feel such sadness for the parents of this boy. My friend and I were discussing this and remembering how our sons were at 15 and loved playing their video games. My friend's son played alot more then my son did to the point of having to take the game away from him, just because all he would do is play the game when not in school. Addiction yes it even happens to young teens. The whole world starts to revolve around the video game.

Please read on and read the exert from the news:

A post-mortem examination on Brandon Crisp, conducted at Ontario's Office of the Chief Coroner in Toronto, shows the injuries are consistent with falling from a tree.

Dental records confirmed the body found by hunters Wednesday in a wooded area north of Barrie was that of the 15-year-old.

Police released the information on Saturday after giving the findings to his family the previous night.

Investigators had ruled out foul play.

Brandon's parents said he fled home following a dispute with them over his obsessive Xbox video-gaming habits.
