Lad, 18, dies after 40-hour gaming marathon
A TEENAGER was found dead in an internet cafe after reportedly playing a video game for 40 HOURS straight.
The 18-year-old lad is believed to have collapsed during a marathon session of Diablo 3.
He was found by workers in the internet cafe in Tainan, southern Taiwan.
It is believed he had not eaten for two days.
The gamer has so far only been identified by his surname, Chuang.
On the morning of July 15, an attendant entered the room and found Chuang resting on a table. After the attendant woke him, he stood, took a few steps and then collapsed, reports said.
He was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at a local hospital.
Police were investigating the cause of death and an autopsy was being carried out.
It has been speculated that sitting for long hours in a sedentary position created cardiovascular problems for Chuang.
The teen had been playing the latest instalment of the role-playing game.
It is the second death from playing video games in the country this year.
In February, a man in New Taipei was found dead, slumped in a chair facing a computer with his arms still reaching out for the keyboard after playing for 23 hours. The cause of death was reported as cardiac arrest.

19 Year old dies after playing 40 straight hours of Diablo 3
A 19 year old boy in Tainan surnamed Zhuang, played Diablo 3 in an internet cafe non-stop for 40 hours, only drinking water and not eating. The day before yesterday in the early morning he mumbled to himself ‘I feel uncomfortable, I want some fresh air’, then went outside the internet cafe and collapsed and did not recover. The police announced that because the boy had sat for so long in the internet cafe, he suffered a pulmonary vein embolism and suddenly died. The boy’s mother identified the corpse and while weeping said ‘Sweetheart’, the police are today planning to conduct an autopsy to establish the cause of death.
The police investigator revealed the boy to be Zhuang Zhengfeng (19 years old) who was about 170cm, strong and healthy. His parents have been divorced for many years, and he lived together with his paternal grandparents in Hsinying. Last Friday at noon, Zhuang called and told his grandmother that he wanted to ride to Yuching to meet friends, but because his friend wasn’t home, he went to a 24-hour internet cafe in Yuching to play online computer games.
An assistant in the internet cafe named Chen said Zhuang has in recent months often come to the internet cafe to play online games (probably to play the currently most popular ‘Diablo 3′). Zhuang always played for a very long time, from afternoon until late night before leaving. Every hour someone was chosen to collect the fee, with the fee being 40 kuai an hour. The day before yesterday at 5 in the morning, Zhuang was lying on his keyboard, and the assistant went and shook him awake. He heard Zhuang mumble ‘I feel uncomfortable, I want some fresh air’ with an empty look in his eyes, never imagining that the moment Zhuang walked out of the internet cafe, he would immediately collapse, vomit, and then lose consciousness. The assistant saw Zhuang and called 119.
Zhuang was taken to Tainan hospital’s Xinhua branch, during which time first aid personnel gave him CPR, and momentarily revived him, but he still passed away by the time they they reached the hospital. Tainan Kuo General Hospital Heart Department head Lu Yanyuan said, “The deceased sat for a long time in the internet cafe, his blood flow slowed and produced a blood clot, and the clot flowed through his lungs to the vein, this likely caused a pulmonary vein embolism and sudden death. It’s also possible that continuously playing several days of online computer games, there was too much excitement, and lead to his sympathetic nerves being impacted, making his heartbeat abnormal and causing sudden death.
Police investigators yesterday announced, initial investigations revealed no external injuries, and today planned an autopsy to establish the cause of death. The departed’s friend said the departed had previously attended Taekwondo competitions, and was physically fit and strong, but he really loved playing online computer games, and had previously worked in an internet cafe part-time, to conveniently save money and practice his skills. Afterwards he thought that the pay was too low, so he resigned, and planned on going to Yuching to live with friends and find work. Around ten days ago he packed his bags and moved, and now he is a cold dead body, it is a real shock.

This Diablo 3 exploit can be abused to make Hardcore and Inferno a breeze.
Between server outages and game breaking exploits, Blizzard's had its hands full with Diablo III.
Players have recently uncovered a game breaking exploit that, after executing a series of abilities including teleport, make a wizard invulnerable. The exploit is actually pretty simple to execute, without any need for outside programs.
Once players have executed the specific combination of abilities, the wizard will then turn invulnerable, with enemies either avoiding the character or attacking and missing. The exploit isn't restricted to any mode, and has been tested on every difficulty. The only drawback to the exploit is that it locks players out of some of the character's abilities, but invulnerability in Diablo III is a wonderful boon—especially in Hardcore or Inferno—worth trading a few skills for.
The issue's already was made public on YouTube and the Diablo III forums. It's likely that Blizzard will be throwing out a hotfix to lock down the exploit. After all, such an exploit is ripe for abuse to breeze through beating the game.
