C-S Player Dead After All-Nighter

It's pin drop quiet, so rather than save this for tomorrow's update, I'll post it now: He drops dead after playing computer game for almost a day on The Electric New Paper (thanks Chern Ann) and Man dies playing all-night computer game on Ananova (thanks Der Goetz) are both stories on the same subject, the death of a 22 year-old Thai ceramics factory worker named Thanet Sommoi that took place after an extended session of playing Counter-Strike in an Internet shop. There is speculation in the article that strain contributed to the young man's death, which doctors deemed to be from heart failure. Somewhat unbelievably, this is the second story we've posted today about an unhappy outcome from Counter-Strike play in an Asian Internet store, as one of this morning's etc. pieces is the report of a non-fatal real-life stabbing promoted by an in-game stabbing (story).
