TRIVIA 0000030: Did you know that a Taiwanese teenager died after playing Diablo III for 40 hours straight, The Australian reports citing United Daily News. The 18-year-old boy identified only by his surname, Chuang, booked a room at a cafe in Tainan on July 13 and spent almost two days playing the game without eating. On July 15 Chuang was found resting on a table; after an attendant woke him up, he took a couple of steps before collapsing. He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a hospital. Chuang’s death is speculated to be the result of cardiovascular problems due to spending that much time sitting.
This was the second gaming-related death in Taiwan this year, and similar deaths have been reported in other countries as well. In February, a man died after playing League of Legends for 23 hours straight. In February last year, a 30-year-old Chinese man died in Beijing after playing an online game for three days.
