Gamer In Taiwan Dies After Playing Diablo 3 For 40 Hours Straight

Posted on July 20, 2012 by Moye

Oh no, not again. Via G4tv: “The boy, Chuang, was resting on a table in an Internet Cafe when an attendant came to wake him up. According to reports, Chuang stood up, took a few steps around, and then collapsed, having to be taken to a hospital. It was shortly after he arrived there that he was pronounced dead. ” This is the second game-related death in Taiwan this year–and hopefully the last. Heed those warnings on your Wii, kids! Go play outside! Dying from cardiac arrest after marathon sessions of Diablo 3 is never worth it.

About Moye

I am a Japanese-American girl who was born, raised and is most probably stuck in traffic right this second in Los Angeles. I'm currently one of the co-editors of 8Asians and like to distract myself with good food, reading long books, playing video games, catching up on celebrity news, choosing my new new haircut and then writing all about it on Hello Moye and sometimes here on Twitter if I can get it in under 140 words or less.
