http://ingame.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/02/03/10310569-corpse-sits-in-gamer-cafe-for-9-hoursIn what is beginning to be a disturbingly common phenomenon, a young man in Asia has died, apparently due to prolonged gaming.
According to Sky News and the AFP, the latest incident took place in New Taipei, Taiwan. Chen Rong-yu, 23, checked into a cafe on Tuesday night, where he would spend the rest of his life.
The last time anyone noticed Chen was noon the following day, when he was seen talking on his phone by a waitress. Sometime after that point, he passed away of what investigators believe is cardiac arrest, brought upon by blood clots, which is common in such cases.
