A man has died after a Wii Fit session went terribly awry; during his jogging session on the game, he collapsed and promptly died.
The man, identified as Tim Eves (25), of Norfolk in the UK, was apparently of sound body, enjoying such activities as cycling and fishing, and led a troupe of boy scouts. He worked as a labourer.
It seems he was playing the game, involving pretending to jog on the spot, when he suddenly keeled over. His friend and girlfriend immediately attempted to revive him and summoned medical assistance, but to no avail – he was declared deceased upon arrival at the hospital.
An autopsy is scheduled, but in the mean time so speculate he may have fallen victim to that most dread of killers, “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”, that is to say he dropped dead for no good reason.
He spoke to his mother shortly before expiring, which revealed something of his healthy lifestyle:
“We spoke to him on the phone when he was playing on the Wii machine. He told us he had just ordered himself a kebab and was sitting there with a glass of port.
But a little while after he had put the phone down, he collapsed for no reason. It was completely out of the blue.
They still can’t come up with an answer why it happened, which is one of the reasons it is so hard to come to terms with – there was no reason for it.
It is just unbelievable.”

Considering the levels of obesity and intemperance common in the UK, it would be interesting to hear details of the unfortunate man’s weight and build…

We must ban the Wii! All hail Sony!
Agreed
Wii i'ts just a killer machine
I AM KIRA! I AM JUSTICE!!
DEATH NOTE
After years of people saying exersize is good for you it now pops up that exercize kills.. Ironic
so does the Wii had any role at all in this?
What a way to go. Though I heard of various drop dead scenarios before and I find it scary that you'
ll just suddenly die. Nintendo or the wii consle rally had nothing to do with this and for the ret@rds that insists, I facepalm at your failure. DX
ouch terwiinator 3:rise of the console
probably got some illness, that he doesn't even notice.
Either the Wii should be banned, or it's simply according to keikaku (T/L Note: 'keikaku' means plan).
lolz
There are THREE ways to explain this with logic, using knowledge from DEATH NOTE.
01: Someone wrote his name and Sudden Death
02: He owned a Death Note and got the eyes,
hence shortening life
03: His lifetime was up anyway.
How casual do you have to be to casual yourself to death?
Now I would like to see how PS3 and Xbox 360 up their antics for this...RRoD just delivered a check that Microsoft refused to cash...
DEATH NOTE!!!!!!!!!!
Left vagus nerve fall and go boom.
Hell Correspondence
We will deliver your grudge

Tim Eves
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome? What the hell is that? Never hear about this illness!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_Adult_Death_Syndrome
It exist.
three words: Nintendo not Guilty :p
The man just too crazy to keep working out untill he died
I'm just speechless.
Sudden Adult Death Syndrome? Makes me wish I would never become an adult, so I wouldn't die like this.....
Suddenly collapsed with little symptoms = Death Note, to me. XD
I had no idea that wii fit was so hardcore.
Sounds like a case for Sherlock Holmes! Or maybe just Monk. Or the regular police. My bets are that he was killed with a very obscure poison.
hmm.... now THAT is what you call KJ
poor wii. accused for death
The guy should have put in some more coins before playing, he would have gotten more credits. If you die, you still have another life, y'know.
Damn Nintendo....
its KIRA doing
Nintendo or Death Note, which is the greater evil here?
Ninten Note? Nindeathdo..? Deathtendo...?
I just burst out laughing.
I hope my body can take it...
man... sads strikes again. there was a woman in my town who was a very fit 32 year old mum who died of sads just last year, and my niece's father died of the same thing the year before, also very fit and at 36 years of age. it's like an adult version of sids and it doesn't matter what shape you are, everyone is at risk. scary shit...
New PS3 advertise. Don't by Wii, it will kill you. By PS3 were you can kill others.
Thus the Wii Invisible Death Ray is revealed.
Next, Wii Sonic Intestinal Explosion Pads.
SADS makes me sad.
God must have smote him for using that pagan device from the heathen Japanese???
"You fap too hard. Your balls will asplode."
OP pic is hawt. Right-click saves
His heart can't take too much pressure.
DEATH NOTE IS REAL!!!!!!!
Yup, Death Note. Now to get L on the case.
i was going to say that
fuck somebody got to it first
im going for a joHHHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG
EVERYONE! Blame Nintendo so the world is distracted from the "treat" of lolicons :D
done...
“Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”
You sure it's not a heart attack?
Someone is posessign a Deat Note x_x
sad story :(
british diet: meat, boiled vegetables, bread. fry everything.
>fry everyting
scotland maybe (from what i hear) but not all of the UK.
Fine, here's a correction:
British Diet: Meat, boiled vegetables, bread. As bland as possible. And Curry.
Port and a kebab.
You wish your lunch was that awesome.
my lunch IS that awesome...
I have no clue what they are lol.
Wine and spit roasted meat?
awesome
You see what I mean.
I really want to imagine some way that the picture posted with the article was related to his death.
He was running.
So is the girl in the picture.
From this day on, the death of every person who dies while running must be blamed on this picture!
I knew this was going to happen someday!
Its has to be the "Death Note"!
And I told my friend they can't kill kira.
did you even read the article?
uh no. its the man's fault because of his obese. thats why he died cause of collapse on Wii Fit.
hes kinda stupid
"was apparently of sound body, enjoying such activities as cycling and fishing, and led a troupe of boy scouts. He worked as a labourer."
Not obese, Jacko.
Cycling - easy for anyone
Fishing - you sit on your ass ALL DAY.
Leading scouts - ditto.
Kebabs and port too? There's no doubt he was unhealthy.
maybe not obesse but i know of lots of people with very good build but still has high BP due to lifestyle and diet... so i could be an attack... If it's not that it's surely a mystery to me...
He died for no good reason, which part of that do you not understand.?
But the man couldn't die because od the wii fit, which seem stupid because he was running. I have the wii fit, the jogging he was doing would be simply running on the spot with the wii remote in his pocket or in his hand. If somebody has the guts to say that wii fit is dangerous, it would be the same as saying running, cycling or even doing exercise is dangerous.
I feel bad for the man, dying at 25. It's young for someone who die.
it means that its not Wii that killed him
He was a drummer and a Scout.

Seriously, I expected an impaling of a wiimote or something.
Wait, the article even stated that. Theres a picture of him somewhere else and he looked pretty fit.
being "too fit" can kill you.
Anonymous is true to some extend. Doing too much sport (for example lifting too much weight in the gym) can harm your body beyond it's recovery capacity. However I suspect the poor man might have died of overwork and over-stress (過労死).
so says the neet.
Or pushing yourself when you really shouldn't: Vigorously exercising when you're sick from some virus has killed a fair bit of athletes out of the blue. Helping viruses move to the heart/brain = very very bad.
well holy crap death by wii that is a new one
well, it wasn't lupus. it's never lupus.
lets see what the World Health Organization will say about this! BAN THE WII!
It was Sadako who's responsible for that..
When you first pop up your wii fit you will receive a phone call with nothing but static. And on your 7th day of playing wii fit you'll just drop dead like that!
i wonder, what will happen when you saw her just about to come out and you chuck the wiimote at the tv screen........
Died of "sudden adult death syndrome"...is it wrong that i found that funny?
Well, it is weird. I knew that there was SIDS, but SADS? That's the new one on me, but it makes since. There have been similar cases, sans the Wii of course. Then again, if there was a Death Note involved (and there wasn't), why waste it on this poor fellow. Could use it on criminals, both elected and not elected. >_>
... Maybe he's the lead on UNICEF's anti-loli ban?
no the fact that he died just how its labled
Either a heart fluke that went undiscovered or a result from drug use of some kind, we had some baseball players die a few years back from efedemene useage....
fucking Kira and his Death Note is at it again
aww beat me to it.
omg its light, he returned from the shimigami world!
agreeeed XD
does the game display "GAME OVER" right after his death?
I lol'd
That game must be outdatedly designed for not having a "Continue" option.
Death Note...
I guess I will supply the inevitable KEIKAKU DOORI, since you fags took so long.
either someone wrote his name on a certain note or on a certain hotline
Too convenient. Someone must have a death note.
On a more serious note, what does this mean for the wii? Will the family press charges or something? They'll probably have to put warning labels on wii fits from now on. "Warning: Death may occur while using this product."
Wouldn't you have to put that on any product?
