A boy (15), who spent all night gaming at a net café, suddenly keeled over dead in the early morning.
The boy apparently went to the café with his friend (17) at 8pm, where they spent an hour gaming and then went out for supper, returning at 10.
However, at 2am he was found face down at the computer, apparently sleeping. After two hours of this, the manager of the shop became worried and took the unconscious boy to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The café operator was found to be unlicensed, claiming ignorance of the need for one in the newly established venue, though this does not seem to be connected the boy’s demise.
It is important for the parents however: they explain that “up till now our boy never played games into the night like this, and he was mostly healthy and free of illness”. They also explain that they plan to sue the café…
Via Searchina.
Nobody seems concerned to relate his cause of death, and worst of all we do not hear which game killed him. Wags have been suggesting he was PKed…

ok... like even an Epic Gamer, an EpicSlayer who spends 12h playing, 2h eating 2h various and 6 sleeping for years can hold a conversation today and yet how would gaming kill? 1, gaming causes stress over time, 2, being new at a game takes more mental toll in those hours, 3, coffee is a stress booster that can even lead to panic attacks, 4, any substance being drugs or medication to a product combined with coffee can suddently go wrong under those stress conditions for no apparent reason...like when playing ColdSnap in Halo PC Custom Edition for 6 hours can give me numb hands and i need a break to eat and drink watter, pee, then listen to music for 1-2 hours before I feel good enough to resume... like no matter how good you are, no ammount of game play later... getting good only gets harder and harder untill your 1st-4th in most games servers and 30% of the time being in the lower 10th to ???thZ like even the best falls down from lower classes... just that much less often... like if you can get some one stressed out... you WON HALF THE BATTLE!
Insomnia and Coffee+Epilepsy
he was fine playing The World until Skeith got him
lol
Wait what? He played for a total time of FIVE hours and died? Something tells me that the cause of death was not related to the gaming itself...
agreed i play like 17 hours from time to time and hey im still alive...XD...maybe he got PKed as suggested and was sent to the game LOL XD (.hack/o_<)
YAY! I beat you all with 36 hours of constant gaming... then a rest, of an hour, and gaming for another 8 hours... went to sleep after that... xD
-Ryuuku
I wouldn't pride myself on gaming for that long, I game in doses. It's healthier that way.
psssh, when im playing mmo's (like rappelz) i can game for days at a time, i gamed for almost 70 hours straight, mind you near the end i was zoning out and my dungeon party died a few times cause i couldnt concentrate, but i leveled to 56 in under three days bitch yea, fuck you. Did an essay the next day too.
How ture
HA 40 and something hours wihout rest....to bad after that i went sleep and for a week only wake up for meals then went back to bed i should had played 15 hours T_T
im the guy that played 40 hours wihout sleep now i played 56:36 straight ons notebook pooping while at the game eating while at the game and sometimes using some hard stuff to prevent myself of falling asleep.I must say stay 56 hours wihot sleep SUCKS from now on i'll play like a maniac 18 hours a day eating pooping and sleeping on the rest of the time.
I lost track after 72 hours. One of my relatives said it was closer to 5 days but I can't remember, I was in a basement.
my record: 18 hours...
mine is 23 hours ^^ don't its true
if You don't believe fine... hehehe
I've managed more than 24 hours without ill effects, though some might beg to differ...
Once I got Skate 3. I would not let it slip my hands nomatter the sweat. Imagine the hours.
i wanked for 24 hours and i begged for more. X-P
2 and a half days. Jolt, caffeine, and the occasional usage of weed.
That was one hell of a Monster Hunter run, and I said "Ok", that's enough, curled up and went to sleep right there. :/
Lol, I went for a 4 day gaming maraton once... 5 hours is nothing. Monsters and Hot pockets FTW!
Bet he ate some poison in his "supper" :D
boy found dead after 5 hours of minesweepers on a net cafe computer
jk
what a shame he didn't even have a chance to try playing Embodiment of Scarlet Devil for about 2 days....
or did he?
4 days huh? nice, when i was like 12, i got ahold of FF7 for ps1 and i played till Aeirth died...i got real attached to her and had like an emotional breakdown where i kinda just stopped playing for a few months....anyway till that, i lvled my ass up etc etc, it was like a week and a half straight, tea, brownies(home made of course, by moi) and cinnamon buns + a few apples here and there = win win win win, emotionalburnout ....lol
Hell Yeah, Tired As Hell and Making jokes every 5mins:P
It goes ass long there is No fucking CS Heads Around (HOW IN HELL COULD YOU HAVE FU... YOU ....... ... .... BA..... DIC. HAVE SHOT ME, I WAS BIHIND THE FUCKING.....)
DO I really need to say more?
dude, in 5 hours, im not even done warming up. LOL did they check if he was playing .hack or Angel Sanctuary?
His weak stamina is due to the fact he lacks training. Play more games. Modern Warfare 2 FTW.
He could have gotten tired and then decided to take some red bull. Yes, that can kill you.
If you're sleepy and drink a red bull your heart might stop from the sudden energy boost.
Funny how no one responded to the last comment
"Wags have been suggesting he was PKed…"
I'll buy that excuse... XD
Seriously 5 hours is nothing :O My longest recorded time for playing a game over a month was 300 total hours :O *about 12 hours a day* and I didn't keel over and die... There is definably some other cause to this. My guess is Food Poisoning, some other event that took place before entering the Cafe... or his friend possibly poisoning him since apparently his friend wasn't with him when he died :O
Nah the most logical thing that could have happened was that some kind of ghost/shinnigami/etc or something like that came out of the screen and killed him! ^_^
He died because he got stuck in The World and was PKed...
masturbation makes people blind, gaming kills, .. it seems all the best thing in the world are dangerous.
He was PKed .-.
I wonder what'd he dropped...
And that's the reason you shouldn't die in the .hack games
this article made me laugh so freaking hard.
silly twits, staying up for hours and hours on end playing games doesn't kill you, telling that person to get up and go outside will
without sleeping (at all, so no zoning out no spacing out etc/w/e) was playing a DP in Rappelz for 3 and a 1/2 days straight, approx 86 hours, needless to say, i leveled up.
Come on! The dude was a total noob or something was obviously wrong with the guy.
My record was about 16 hours when I first got my hands on Tsukihime(my first visual novel).
just 5 hour and dead?
Maybe he got Seizure or Something?
I can stand up to 2 days and no problem
fix: he was PK-ed
5 hours and died? Screw him, he was weak.
i bet it was the food
What a wimp!!! can't even handle 5 hrs of gaming...
oh wait maybe the game was that bad.
well. they can sue the cafe for its illegal license but not for killing their son. there is no proof of connection between his death and internet cafe's doing
I have a confession, I was the one that PKed him! Who is next? C'mon I will PK all other gamers on this planet!
I assume he died while playing one of those "Strong epyleptic effects on humanity warning" games.
A flash and you die.
"They also explain that they plan to sue the café…"
The neglectful fucks.
You guys are really weak. I've played 42 hours straight, not even a headache.
I remeber the news some years ago where a korean played for 2 or more days without sleep, fainted and died.
Does anyone know now why the boya actually died?
Btw my longest time without sleep was 3 days. On the first day i went from germany to austria (vienna) where played games with my friends th whole night. The 2nd day i went back home and played diablo2 until the 3rd day. ^^
PS:
I didnt sleep last night but my weariness i going away right now...
ITT: no-lifes brag/lie about gaming for unreasonable amounts of hours
you start hallucinatng after 50 hours or so, i doubt you'd be playing games for long after that..
heart attack doesnt matter how old you are or what your doing you can even feel healthy but if he rarely had illnesses then there was no need for them to take him to the doctor there for he could of had severe cardiovascular difficulty and died it happens to some WOW players as well
lol not even close i once went o a gaming rampage for 4 and a half days only having 3-4 hrs rest per day and fatigue was the worst that came on me but death lol maybe it was something he ate
