Vigesh in a suicide note said "the game was a devastating one... Once you enter it, you would not be able to come out", they said.
In another incident in the southern part of the state, a school student in Tirunelveli hurt himself reportedly after playing the social media "game" which has reportedly been linked to teenage deaths in several countries.
Vignesh reportedly hanged himself at his house yesterday when his parents were at work.
His devastated father Jayamani, who works at a bakery, said he was not aware that his son was "so serious" about the online game.
"I thought it was like boys playing on the street. But my son died due to the cruel game," he said.
He appealed to the youngsters "not to be maniacal about video games".
Jayamani also wanted the creator of the Blue Whale challenge to be identified and booked on murder charges.
