South Korean Dies from playing PC Game

A South Korean man collapsed and died from exhaustion after playing computer games for 10 days without proper rest. The 38-year-old man collapsed Thursday as he was playing an on-line game at an Internet cafe in Incheon, west of Seoul. “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. This is not the first death from gaming in Korea. Another man died in August.
