A 17-year-old has died from a love bite

OK, so the last time you had a love bite you might have 'died' with shame when your mum or mates saw it... but we bet you never imagined that one could kill you for real.

A 17 year old boy from Itzdapalapa, Mexico, has died in a shock incident after his 24 year old girlfriend gave him an overly passionate love bite.

Julio Macias Gonzalez started to fit at the dinner table when he was eating with his family. An ambulance was called but unfortunately the boy died at the scene.

Doctors noticed a small bruise on his neck and discovered that he'd been with his girlfriend earlier in the day. They believe that his girlfriend's passionate neck sucking had put trauma on one of his arteries causing a blood clot which then travelled up to his brain and caused a stroke.

It's thought that the girlfriend has gone into hiding after the incident and reportedly the boy's parents never approved of the relationship because of the age gap. They are now blaming her for the incident.

This isn't the first time someone has suffered a serious injury as a result of a love bite. In 2011 a 44-year-old woman from Auckland, New Zealand, lost the use of an arm after a similar incident.

Dr Teddy Wu, who treated her, said: “To my knowledge, it's the first time someone has been hospitalised by a hickey.”

Yikes! A passionate affair became the kiss of death.
