Korea: Man dies after 50 hours of online gaming
Remember when your mom told you that video games won’t pay the bill and told you should go finish school work? They were dead wrong on that one, but if your parents told you that video games will kill you they were not too far off. A 28-year old man in Seoul passed away due to heart failure stemming from exhaustion from the intense gaming. No mention on what game he was playing or why the 24 hour internet cafe didn’t kick him out.
Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play on-line games on August 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed, they said. “We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion,” a Taegu provincial police official said by telephone. Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games, the daily JoongAng Ilbo reported after interviewing former work colleagues and staff at the Internet cafe.
