People always said that we should not believe everything that we see on the internet. A recent event tells us that this may not be the case all the time. A man whose photo have been circulating on the internet recently has passed away at the age of 27.
Lyko (not his real name) has been diagnosed with a terminal illness over a year ago and since then, his friends have been sharing his photos for people to like or comment "Amen". This allegedly would save the latter's life. However, on May 14, 2015 at around 4:20 am, Lyko has succumbed to his illness.
"We did our best, it was just that we could not get enough amens to save his life.", said one of his friends. "It was not like we were asking for money from people, spending a few seconds to type amen could have given him another chance to live", said his mother.
Up to know, we are trying to reach out to his doctors to confirm if his death was caused by the lack of attention from our fellow netizens.
