Original Note:
The media didn't state it was a prank, they just reported what CERN itself said: “CERN welcomes every year thousands of scientific users from all over the world and sometimes some of them let their humour go too far. This is what happened on this occasion.” https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/aug/18/fake-human-sacrifice-filmed-at-cern-with-pranking-scientists-suspected https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CERN_ritual_hoax https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/human-sacrifice-captured-at-cern/
