Nek Nomination played part in DJ’s death, inquest told

The internet craze Nek Nomination played a part in the death of a DJ who died after he “threw back” a pint of whiskey.

Ross Cummins, aged 22, described as “the life and soul of the party”, was found unresponsive on a friend’s couch on February 1 last year.

An inquest yesterday heard the dangerous craze had been a factor in his death. A verdict of death by misadventure was returned at Dublin Coroner’s Court on Mr Cummins who lived at Stella Gardens, Irishtown.
