According to a report in the Sidney Morning Herald, a 24 year old South Korean man died after playing computer games in an internet cafe for over 86 hours straight. The man didn't stop to eat or sleep during his marathon online gaming session until he finally collapsed, revived and went to the men's room, where he was later found dead. The bizarre event took place in Kwangju, 260 kilometers southwest of Seoul, Korea. Local Police have ruled out foul play and categorized the death as being caused by a lack of sleep and food for a long period of time. It was not revealed what game(s) the man was playing.
