On-line gamer dies


A South Korean man collapsed and died from exhaustion after playing computer games for 10 days without a proper rest.

"He was carried to a nearby hospital but declared dead on arrival," a police officer told AFP.

The officer said the man had played computer games from morning to night every day and had barely stopped to sleep.

In August, a 28-year-old man died in southeastern Taegu city after playing an online computer game for more than two days.

===================

I've seen a lot of online gaming addicts playing 8 hours a day straight, taking only a break just to pee.. but this one is extreme... maybe we should consider online gaming as an extreme sport..
