From CNN:

Man dies after 3-day gaming binge

BEIJING, China (AP) -- A man in southern China appears to have died of exhaustion after a three-day Internet gaming binge, state media said Monday.

The 30-year-old man fainted at a cyber cafe in the city of Guangzhou Saturday afternoon after he had been playing games online for three days, the Beijing News reported.

Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe, it said. The paper said that he may have died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet.

CNN doesn't name the man, but I don't think I'm the first one to guess at his identity.


He is survived by his girlfriend Princess Lana. Services will be held at Simon Belmont's estate and will be officiated by Rabbi Stephen Megaman.
