TAPEI: A Taiwan teen collapsed and died at an internet cafe after playing Diablo 3, a popular online video game, for 40 consecutive hours, local media reported Tuesday.
The 18 year old identified only by his surname, Chuang, booked a private room at the cafe in Tainan, southern Taiwan, around noon on July 13 and played for nearly two days without eating, the United Daily News reported.
On the morning of July 15, an attendant entered the room and found Chuang resting on a table. After the attendant woke him, he stood, took a few steps and then collapsed, the report said.
He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a local hospital. Police were investigating the cause of death and an autopsy was being carried out, the newspaper reported.
They speculated the long hours in a sedentary position created cardiovascular problems for Chuang the report said. The deceased had been playing the latest installments of the role playing game developed by US based Activision Blizzard Inc.
This is the second death in Taiwan from playing video games this year.
