GB: Teenager dies 'after taking ice bucket challenge'

(Telegraph) - A teenager has died after joining in a variation of the latest internet craze, the ice bucket challenge.

Cameron Lancaster is believed to be the first victim of the trend, in which people film themselves having ice water poured over their heads for charity.

The 18-year-old was found dead after jumping into a disused quarry.

Mr Lancaster disappeared under the water at Prestonhill Quarry in Inverkeithing, Fife, on Sunday.

He is thought to have jumped feet first off a cliff into shallow water, in response to the internet mania that has swept around the world.
