Investigators do not believe the exercise equipment was responsible for the teen's death.
Few details are available, but the Nevada County Sheriff's Office said in a statement that "there is no information or evidence to suggest in any way the victim was trying to purposefully hurt himself or end his own life."
Investigators concluded the death was "a very tragic accident."
| so how the hell did he pass? i'm so confused and intrigued.

| Gizmodo Article Quote:
Update: After the initial and vague news release from the Nevada County Sheriff's department was posted, Butler's uncle, Bill Buus, chose to speak out about the incident and shed more light on the death.
According to Buus, the tragedy was the result of a choking game. Such "games" are intended to produce a natural high of sorts and usually something we hear about only in the occasional sensational news stories intended to frighten parents, but a report in the Sacramento Bee reveals how they led to Butler's death:
Buus said his nephew was playing the "choking game." The CDC reports that in such an activity young people either choke each other or use a noose to choke themselves.
Butler's parents have since discovered that other teens in the community are also playing the game that led to their son's death, Buss said.
The CDC reports that participants either pass out, which can lead to serious injury, or die from hanging or strangulation.
Buss confirmed that the teen choked himself by using a strap anchored on a piece of exercise equipment. He said the strap was part of the exercise apparatus.
Please understand that this additional information came from Butler's family in an attempt to raise awareness of what occurred and to perhaps save another child's life. The decision to do this while mourning Butler's death must've been difficult and I hope that you show the appropriate respect in the comments
