Game player ends up as a terminal case
A 28-year-old computer game player, police say, overdid it.
After 50 hours of nonstop action in front of an Internet cafe terminal, the Daegu resident collapsed Friday night. He died in a hospital from heart failure brought on by exhaustion, doctors later said.
According to the Internet cafe's owner, Mr. Lee often stayed up two to three nights in a row. He had his food delivered to the cafe and hardly left his computer except to go to the toilet. Mr. Lee reportedly slept on a makeshift bed in the Internet cafe's administrative office.
As Mr. Lee had not come home for a while, Mr. Lee's mother asked her son's former coworkers to find him. They had located Mr. Lee at the Internet cafe on the day of the incident. "He promised that he would play just a little more and then go home," one of his coworker said. "Then, after five minutes, he collapsed."
