A horrible “joke” between colleagues that is more reminiscent of torture, claimed the life of a 15-year-old in Turkeywhen his colleagues at the carpentry shop where he worked put him pipe from an air compressor in the anus.
Muhammad Kedirji’s two colleagues in Turkey wanted to play a prank on him that was fatal. They tied him up, took off his pants and inserted an air compressor tube into his anus. As if that wasn’t enough, they turned on the compressor, causing the 15-year-old’s intestine to explode and causing serious damage to other internal organs.
The 15-year-old was rushed to Harran University Research and Application Hospital, where he ended up five days later, Milliyet reported.

One of the men was arrested and initially released on bail, but then made his way to the detention center. The charges against him were not immediately known.
The air compressor, commonly used in automotive and carpentry work, has also caused other teenage deaths in recent years.

Similar “pranks” that led to a gruesome death
As the nypost reports, in 2023, 16-year-old Motilal Sahu in India died of internal injuries after a similar incident at a factory, when a co-worker injured him “as a joke” with an air hose.
In 2017, 17-year-old Wesner Moreira da Silva, a car wash worker in Brazil, also died after a similar attack. Two men were later convicted of his death with sentences of more than 12 years.
