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).
