Brandon, the Beta With the Helium Method

This story is most likely fake, but when it was written a lot of people were made very upset by the inhumanity of the girl in the story and the awkwardness of Brandon. Why is it fake? There is a report of a man named Brandon dying using the "Helium Method", but the reports of his death were made some time before this thread was posted. An anon most likely found the real Brandon by a chance and wrote a story making it seem like it was the real one who wrote it. Nevertheless, it caused quite a backlash and is treasured as one of the greatest rage-inducing materials ever published on 4chan.
