'Pokémon GO' players found another dead body

This is becoming a trend, unbelievably — a second dead body was found by a person playing "Pokémon GO" — this time in New Hampshire.

The body was found in Nashua, New Hampshire by a person playing "Pokémon GO" at around 2 p.m. on Thursday. The body was identified as male in a phone conversation with Tech Insider by a representative of the Nashua Police Department; no other identifying information was provided. The case is still under investigation, and it's not clear if any foul play was involved.

The first body found by a "Pokémon GO" player happened less than a week ago. A 19-year-old named Shayla Wiggins found the body of a deceased man near her mother's home in Riverton, Wyoming. 

There have been other incidents as well, from robberies to stabbings, involving "Pokémon GO." And Wednesday brought us the first major car crash while playing "Pokémon GO."

As a reminder, the game has only been available (in just four territories, no less) for one week. 

On February 28, Axel Springer, Business Insider's parent company, joined 31 other media groups and filed a $2.3 billion suit against Google in Dutch court, alleging losses suffered due to the company's advertising practices.
