Another player found dead at Internet cafe
Print Edition
A MAN was found dead slumped in his seat at an Internet cafe in Taiwan’s Kaohsiung city after a three-day gaming binge.
It was the second such case this year.
The 32-year-old was initially thought to be sleeping, but when an employee realized he was not breathing he was taken to hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the Taipei Times reported at the weekend.
Doctors confirmed he had suffered cardiac failure, ruling it a “sudden death” from prolonged computer gaming, the report said.
“Hsieh was a regular customer here and always played for consecutive days. When tired, he would sleep face-down on the table or doze off slumped in his chair.
“That is why we were not aware of his condition in the beginning,” the newspaper quoted the employee as saying.
It was not clear what the man was playing at the time of his death, with the report describing it only as “combat computer games.”
On January 1, a 38-year-old man was found dead at an Internet cafe in New Taipei City after playing video games for five days straight.
Police said that in both cases other patrons appeared nonchalant about the deaths, continuing to play even when tables were cordoned off for investigators to gather evidence.
