A South Korean man died of a heart attack after playing on-line games for 50 hours.

Lee had planted himself in front of a computer monitor to play on-line games on August 3. He only left the spot over the next three days to go to the toilet and take brief naps on a makeshift bed.

“We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion,” a Taegu provincial police official said.

Apparently he’d given up work to play more games. I wonder if it was exhaustion that killed him or the shock he suffered when the internet cafe sent him his bill….
