Apokelypse: Violence, Crime, and Death Connected to 'Pokemon Go'

Welcome to the apokelypse. Since Pokemon Go took over millions of users’ screens in July, there have been over 75 reports of violence, crime, and deaths connected with the gaming phenomenon. People have gone to absurd lengths in their efforts to catch 'em all: A woman got stuck in a tree, two men fell off a cliff, and one man kept playing even after getting stabbed. Players have even uncovered dead bodies – not exactly the friendly Jigglypuffs they might have been after.
