MEXICO CITY – A 17-year-old boy in Mexico died from a stroke after receiving a hickey from his girlfriend.

According to Independent, Julio Macias Gonzalez was eating dinner with his family when he started having convulsions. They called emergency personnel, but he died at his home.

A local media outlet reported Gonzalez had a hickey on his neck from his girlfriend, and doctors believe the suction from the girl giving him a hickey caused a blood clot. The clot traveled to his brain and caused him to have a stroke.

This is the second reported case of a hickey causing a stroke. In 2011, a woman from New Zealand suffered a stroke and partial paralysis in her left arm.
