This is a I have seen a different version of this which was given "Urban Legend" status due to its falsity... i discovered upon reading an urban legend site that there was a basis for the story (with media sources) here is a reprint from the site:

As unbelievable as this story is, it appears to be a fanciful embellishment of the 1993 death of Charnchai Puanmuangpak of Thailand. Though the 13-year-old did die from a punctured intestine brought about by compressed air being forced into his rectum, he was killed by others; there was no element of a death brought about by self-gratification gone wrong.

The real Charnchai Puanmuangpak died when two of his 15-year-old co-workers at the gas station carried a prank too far. These older lads were in the habit of turning the compressed air upon Charnchai when they found him napping. Finding him deeply asleep, this time they inserted the nozzle into his bum. The boy died before reaching the hospital, and the two lads who inserted the hose were charged with carelessness resulting in death.

The Guardian. 13 October 1995 (p. 17).

Reuters. "Teens Kill Co-Worker with Air Blast."

13 August 1993.

This most certainly is not a Darwin Award, as the only stupidity here is on the part of the two other kids who fail our maturity guideline. However, it is perhaps an interesting footnote to another story on the site.
