Man Dies after 86-Hour Computer Game Marathon

A 24-year-old unemployed South Korean man has been found dead in the toilet facilities of an Internet cafe in Kwangju, after what police claim was an almost uninterrupted 86-hour game session.
Police claim that from late Friday afternoon till early Tuesday morning, the man sat virtually glued to the screen without sleep or food until he collapsed. After regaining consciousness, he ventured to the toilet and was later found dead.
:eek:
