A teenager from Scotland who died after jumping into a disused quarry may be the first victim to suffer from a tragic death while taking the "ice bucket challenge."

The ice bucket challenge, a new Internet craze that requires participants to dump a bucket of ice water over their head, was designed to raise awareness and funding for the neurodegenerative disease ALS, or motor neuron disease. So far, the ALS Association reported that it has raised $79.7 million since July 29.

However, instead of taking the challenge and posting a short video online like most people, 18-year-old Cameron Lancaster died Saturday after he jumped feet first into the water at Preston Hill quarry in Inverkeithing, Fife, according to the Guardian.

The teen's body was discovered after a four-hour search, reports the Telegraph.

Police have launched an investigation into the freak accident, but it is believed that Lancaster reportedly was attempting to put a new twist on the successful charity fundraiser by jumping into the deep water.

Iain Yuile, the headmaster of Inverkeithing High School where Lancaster attended school, described him as a "popular pupil who had a great passion for drama and music".

"Everyone at Inverkeithing High School is shocked and saddened by the news," he added.

His family also released a statement, saying: "Cameron died in a tragic accident. His death is such a great loss. During his short life, he touched so many people with his friendliness, kindness and thoughtful generosity of spirit. He will be hugely missed by his family and friends. The family are finding it hard to come to terms with this sudden loss and would ask for privacy at this sad time."

A police spokesman said: "Inquiries are under way to establish the full circumstances of what happened. Police Scotland's thoughts are with the family."
