| 379982 | 2005-08-10 06:02:00 | An article (www.nzherald.co.nz) from the NZHerald reports that a South Korean computer game addict suffered a heart-attack brought on by extreme exhaustion after playing for 50 hours almost non-stop, and died. The name of the on-line game is not mentioned. |

| 379983 | 2005-08-10 06:45:00 | Wasn't there another death related to excessive time spent on a PC (at a LAN I think?) reported about a year ago in an Asian country? Seeing he was 28 years old, that does suggest he had an underlying heart defect or even perhaps threw a blot clot from being still for so long (deep vein thrombosis). Any activity that meant you sat still for extended periods would of had the same result perhaps. | Jen (38) | ||

Any activity that meant you sat still for extended periods would of had the same result perhaps. The article reports that he quit his job to devote more time to game playing, so it does suggest that the heart-attack was caused by his devotion to the game. There was a case of a player murdering another player for selling his "virtual sword" in China. I would really like to know the game that he was playing. Must be good... |
