Ice Bucket Challenge Death Hoaxes: ‘Teen Dies Instantly After Bucket Falls on Head,’ ‘Woman Dies 30 Seconds Later’ Both Fake

viral hoaxes are saying that two people

popular ice bucket challenge.
Both originated from a "satire" website

Huzlers.com has a disclaimer at the
bottom of each page, saying,
"Huzlers.com is a combination of real
shocking news and satire news to keep
its visitors in a state of disbelief."
