BEWARE: Don’t get caught dead doing #DeadPose
Has the Internet reached a new low?
An unknown man carries out #DeadPose.
Just when you thought the world could not become any more disturbing, a new trend has surfaced in South Africa – and it is shocking to say the least, South Coast Herald reports.
Although police have not yet issued a warning against the new trend, people are urged to refrain from taking part in the #DeadPose trend.
Black twitter is ungovernable, how do you start 2017 with such a scary trend? #DeadPose pic.twitter.com/htxwE1l78O

#DeadPose seems to have started doing the rounds about 48 hours ago on both Twitter and Facebook, with users posting pictures of themselves appearing to be dead.
Some of the pictures are rather disturbing.

In one incident, a group of friends in Pretoria reportedly cheered while taking pictures of their friend who they thought was at the time carrying out a #DeadPose moment.
Meanwhile, recently matriculated Tshidi Ngwenya had apparently failed to carry out the pose successfully and somehow choked, mzansilive.co.za reported.
Despite efforts by emergency personnel, Ngwenya died.
