Apparently, this happened a few weeks ago, but I couldn't find anything posted about it here.

Man dies after playing computer games non-stop

A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, police said yesterday.

The jobless man, identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260 kilometres southwest of Seoul, they said.

Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late last Friday and had no decent sleep and meals.

The man collapsed in front of the counter early yesterday but soon regained consciousness. He then went to the toilet where he later was found dead, the police officer said.

It's kind of surprising this hasn't happened to anyone on ATOT yet. ;)

Kindly accept my humble apology.

I found the old thread in my 5th search, which unfortunately came after your notification.

The first 4 times, I searched for "die", "video game", "game", and "Korea". None of these helped me find the original thread, titled "Dead after 86 hrs of non stop gaming!"
