Taiwanese Gamer dies in Internet Cafe (6583 reads, 38 replies, 3 months ago)
Taiwanese Gamer’s Lifeless Body Unnoticed for 10 Hours in Internet Cafe.

A staff member at a New Taipei City Internet cafe walked over to Chen Jung-yu’s station on Wednesday evening to tell the 23-year-old cable company engineer that his 23-hour gaming pass had expired.

Instead staff found the Taiwanese man’s lifeless body sitting rigidly upright, his stretched arms reaching for the computer. His death had apparently gone unnoticed by patrons and staff for 10 hours.

Chen was described a regular at the cafe and had been playing “League of Legends” when he died.

According to the Taipei Times, “police said yesterday they were shocked to find complete disinterest from the other gamers in the cafe during their investigation.” To the surprise of the responding officers on the scene, “most either stayed in front of their computers and kept on gaming or took little interest.”

Clearly the officers had never seen the “Make Love, Not Warcraft” episode of South Park.

Chen’s family said he had been “treated for a heart problem in September of last year,” according to Sky News. At this time police are investigating the cause of the death, but they suspect blood clots and/or a heart attack from a combination of body fatigue, cold weather and sitting in one position

Fixed the picture.

Really sad to see, but not the first case of someone dying while playing. Regarding the disinterest, I am not that shocked to hear something like that because in our society people tend to look the other way and just keep on going than taking part in something or helping someone.

#2 In my country you can pay for 24 hours usage of a computer at LAN shops. And it is cheaper but I doubt anyone in Singapore would play for 24 hours straight... :P

playing 24 hrs straight with food and drinks is fine but without food and drinks it will be a suicide

#6 Gaming 24 hours at once is fine once in a while. Just don't make it a regular thing.

It's pretty obvious the guy just had a dodgy heart.

Read it few days back.
Really saddening.
As far as I know the temperature was very low in the cafe, and later on he had a heart attack.
Pity the gamer.
You'll miss me when I'm gone.

Guys the point of a 24 hour pass is the same as a buffet. You don't need to kill yourself to break even.

What would it feel like if you were sitting beside him and he's been like in that position for hours.
