A teenager was found dead in an internet cafe after reportedly playing a video game for 40 hours straight.

The 18-year-old lad is believed to have collapsed during a marathon session of diablo 3.He was found by workers in the internet cafe in Tainan, southern Taiwan. It is believed he had not eaten for two days. The gamer has so far only been identified by his surname, Chuang.

On the morning of July 15, an attendant entered the room and found Chuang resting on a table. After the attendant woke him, he stood, took a few steps and then collapsed, reports said.

It has been speculated that sitting for long hours in a sedentary position created cardiovascular problems for Chuang.

Have you guys ever found yourself to be playing a game for hours?​

You can live 2 weeks without food, and 2-3 days without water. This guy had some heart problems before, and didnt as well sleep or eat in 40 hours

 

[AP2k]

maybe he's done it before, but just neglects all the stomache pain he must have been getting, and im pretty sure he had to go take a piss or dump during he was playing.

 

[Exaar]

His own damn fault.

I don't see how someone plays a game and doesn't eat, Take a 5min break, or cook something in the microwave.

Or atleast stock up on munchies befor hand.

Funny that he died because of not eating/Drinking when he was in a damn cafe xd

 

[Οdin]
