The Xbox 360’s gaming excellence has claimed another victim with the news that a man was so compelled to play the console that he accidentally killed his baby daughter through sheer exhaustion.
The 30-year-old unemployed Miami man lived with his partner and two daughters; he apparently took care of the children whilst she worked and studied.
He evidently also had much time for leisure, for after a session of cannabis use with a friend one afternoon he engaged in a marathon Xbox 360 gaming session, which only ended 6AM the following morning with him passing out.
Soon after losing consciousness he was roused by his partner, who had him feed the baby; once he had done so he went to bed with his two infant daughters. Seven hours later he awoke to find himself “lying on top” of his 7-month-old daughter, who had been smothered.
The man is also suspected of moving the baby to its crib in an attempt to avoid arrest.
This was not an effective tactic; police arrested the man for the aggravated manslaughter of a child, with bail set at $75,000, describing his conduct as “irresponsible.”
Just what game he was playing is not clear.

With the Wii, PC and now Xbox 360 flagrantly killing people it seems only a matter of time before the PS3 follows suit…

Actually you can see what his last game he was playing on the X-box 360.Just turn it on and check the first game icon on your gamer tag. doh!
the ps3 will still be in the white list cause mostly single ppl plays it or if the owners have a girlfriend it is not a very serious relationship; you wont find a video of a girlfriend smashing her boyfriend's ps3 for lack of attention, young dads dont play ps3; if he were unmarried and hence having a ps3, he had fallen asleep on his beer/pepsi can
That cat is really cute.
not the game fault, I BLAME CANNIBIS
just sue the xbox, microsoft sucks ass
just sue microsoft, the xbox 360 suck ass
*fixed
When my brother was 12 he fell asleep while cuddling some very young baby kittens and somehow rolled over and smothered one of them. :(
And he wasn't even high or playing an xbox.
well,
1. he fell asleep in normal terms, not for overgaming exhaustion like the guy from article
2. even if its sad the kitten being smothered, it was a cat, cant compare that to human life
3. your bro was 12, just a little brat; the man from article have 30 -_-
Aww, that's just sad ;.;
When I was a kid and got my first pet that wasn't a goldfish, my dad told me a story about how he had a pet rabbit and one day he hugged it so hard he smothered it. I think he was trying to warn me about not holding animals to tightly, but it just kinda freaked me out. I never smothered a pet though so I guess it worked...
I blame the xbox and microsoft. this would not have happened if he had a ps3.
for those who are blaiming weed without really opening their mind - ill tell you this now pot was not the reason, at max you stay high for 7 hours, he smoked way earlier then when he started his marathon, its cause he deprived himself of sleep and he's an idiot
Poor girl.
games don't kill people
stupid people kill people
Hope nothing bad will happen to that adorable kitten!
i loled at this
why the pic of the neko???
Ko-Neko obviously sleeps on a Xbox 360 control unit.
I completely agree with this comment:

Why the fuck are people making such a big deal about this? Parents sleeping with infants is nothing new.
http://www.askdrsears.com/html/7/T070300.asp
Read:
"Some babies sleep best in their own crib in their own room, some sleep better in their own bassinet or crib in the parents' bedroom, other babies sleep best snuggled right next to mommy in the parents' bed."
Read that last sentence. Thank you.
This guy smothering the baby is nothing but an unfortunate incident. I know if I was the guy, I could sleep through anything like a fucking rock. Considering sleeping with your infant is nothing new, this development isn't really anything new. Could have happened to anyone, marijuana involved or not involved. The chances of this happening are probably phenomenally low, and this poor unlucky sap just happened to have it happen to him on that day; considering that he had no intent for performing the act, the only thing they should be able to get him for is marijuana use, but then again people are rather retarded.
that man is an idiot and shouldn't be a father
Ya can't blame stuff like this on the games. The drugs, and the dumbass are to blame.
Leave it to someone from florida to be stupid. on a side note i like the picture of the kitten.
well I am from Forida and as a mother of a 4 month old girl this sickens me to the core The big reason I don't let my husband play all night
LOL putting the dead baby back in the cradle = bad idea
Exactly, putting the baby in the crib just incriminates you. No charge if the baby is left there. The charge is stupid though; he didn't have any motive for smothering her with too much affection, even if it was brought on by a X360 gaming marathon.
don't laugh until u have a child that dies
WHAT.
*Cute pic, though*
Don't blame the cannabis or the Xbox or PS3
blame the stupidity...
DUDE A CHAIR KILLS MORE PEOPLE THAN THE GAMING CONSOLES SO SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!
Why are people picking on gaming consoles?
The freakin' chair kills more people than that why all the fuss.
Ah, accidents do get people arrested. The world is so cruel and stupid.
The 360 may not have been what killed the child...but still...fucked up.
how is that video games are to blame, he simply rolled over on top of his daughter, anyone could have done it regardless if they had played video games on the previous day..
law is so dam retarted its a pearnts right to kill there own kid even if they never ment to. and y the hell b charged for something u never ment to do? usa i swear sucks. >_>
At least it wasn't on purpose but they do say "babies sleep better alone."
Oh get real. He rolled over on top of his kid, where does the pot factor in?
U obviously hate the Xbox because it isn't Japanese.
Reminds me of that scene from Trainspotting, where they've been so fucking high on heroin for so long they didn't even noticed when the baby was dead. D:
The xbox doesn't kill babies, it was bad parenting that did so.
Thought there was going to be something about someone's girlfriend throwing a 360 out a window and hitting a passing baby in a stroller or something.
The title made me expect the story being about a baby yanking a cord and getting its head bashed in by the falling console, or getting electrocuted or something...
same
this is just too sad, but the picture is so cute
Stupid fuck. I say it all his fault. Xbox have nothing to do with it, nor his passion for gaming. Isnt it a common sense that sleeping with infants is dangerous? Moreover, you shouldnt even position you child on your bed, so you wont accidently sleep with it. Poor girl. Ppl like that should never have babies. Disgusting. Hate spit *harrpfooo*
he's not a murderer, he's an idiot.
Mmmm... Smells like involuntary manslaughter!
Id bet when the parent found out what he had done to his baby, the last thing he was expecting was for the news of his babies death to appear on a website about JAPAN with a misleading title implying that the xbox 360 was somehow responsible for that death. Seriously, this is a new low for trolling.
poor child
so xbox 360 is now a gateway drug to pot, great, thats exactly what we need to start saying.
YOU RRoD 360 BETA TESTERS FAGS SURE GOT TOLD.
Uh, this time I beat you to it.
Then again, you are the original, so you coming in may be necesary.
That's a fitting image :3
