Midstate teen's death may have been connected to game, investigators say

The Dauphin County District Attorney provided an update Friday on the investigation into the death of 16-year-old Justin Johnson. Johnson was found unresponsive in his home last Friday night. He died later at the hospital because of complications from sickle cell disease, according to the coroner. The teenagers seen on video visiting Johnson at his home on Friday night, and possibly earlier in the week, appeared to be part of a game on social media in which players "tag" each other, oftentimes video taping it or making sure other people see it. During the news conference, officials held up a water gun that one of the teens had. The water gun was apparently part of the game. Dauphin County authorities also made it clear that they're still digging through a significant amount of digital data from devices of those involved or people who may have had knowledge of the events. They are trying to determine if any criminal act took place.
