Heartbroken Parents Issue Urgent Warning After 13-Year-Old Daughter Dies From Chroming

The heartbroken parents of a teenage girl who died after taking part in a chroming trend have issued a warning to others. 

Esra Haynes, 13, was at a sleepover in Melbourne, Australia, in March 2023 when tragedy unfolded.

The teen’s parents, Andrea and Paul, told A Current Affair: “It was just the regular routine of going to hang out with her mates.

“We always knew where she was and we knew who she was with. It wasn’t anything out of the ordinary.”

On the night of the sleepover, Esra’s parent would receive a phone call telling them to pick up their daughter.

The teen was rushed to hospital in an unresponsive state and placed on life support. She would spend a week and a half fighting for her life.
