Man Who Quit Hitting the Like Button on Facebook Dies of Scurvy
A 37-year-old man died yesterday after developing the disease after he stopped pressing on the like button on Facebook.
The unnamed man, said to be an unemployed father-of-eight, and who was suffering from social network rejection, first came to the attention of doctors after his friends and family became concerned about his lack of likes on their posts.
Close friend of the dead man said this morning: “We noticed a decrease in notifications from him and this sparked our concerns.”
A family spokesperson said of their loss: “He just wouldn’t hit the like button anymore. He totally gave up on life. We knew there was something wrong when he didn’t even like a picture we posted of our soon-to-be son’s baby scan image and a couple of images of our cats sleeping upside down on the sofa.”
