Just 10 More Minutes: Man Bites It After 3 Days Of Consecutive Internet Gaming
I shall predicate this article with a quick disclaimer: I'm guilty of gaming and internet benders. I dare say that most people who have recently discovered the internet have probably stayed up a few hours too many so they could read just a few more articles, play a few more rounds of counter-strike, and etcetera. I personally can say I have not exhausted myself to the point of a hospital visit let alone to death.
In China a man dropped dead after 3 days of consecutive gaming. The man died after being rushed to a hospital from an internet cafe in in Guangzhou. Police have ruled out suicide and are blaming exhaustion as a likely cause.
Lession to be learned? You should take frequent breaks from your gaming, stop to eat and sleep, and for the sake of everyone around you... SHOWER.

Other stuff like this: Death by stupidity, Exaustion kills, REM sleep
Isn't this the same not real story that it was the last couple of times?
I read somewhere else that the man most likely agitated a heart condition by stressing his body out with exhaustion. As far as I know, the news is completely true.
