Chen's family told authorities he had been treated for a heart condition in September. Police said they were still investigating the cause of death, but suspected that a combination of fatigue, lack of movement and the cold weather could have caused blood clots and a heart attack.

Chen was playing the League of Legends, an online multi-player battle game.

Yeah..people need to get out more.

[drunkrussian]

yes thsi si retarded but what's annoying is how the media will now make this a "video game related death" and use it as an excuse to be all preachy

he did NOT die from video games. he died from having a heart condition and ignoring proper logic to not put his heart to a test. If he had been doing something else such as bunjee jumping, running too long, eating a lot etc. it woudlv'e been the same dumb move, and still because of the same reason!

holy shit i didn't notice that :heckno:

[Phil@rise]

gaming is a waste of a life IMO. Get out and enjoy AIR.

[skyxx]

^ Massively underrated.

[Geoc]

The guy didn't die from a 23 hour marathon of LoL, he died from 23 years of poor diet, lack of exercise and poor sleep schedule.

Even if he has a heart condition, if he took care of himself, you can do a 23-hour gaming marathon easy.

just looked at the photo again, there's a dead guy, and people in the other row of computers are still playing :fulloffuck:

[TMT]

RIP thats why you watch your health

[dachinesedude]

played dota once for 12 hrs straight back in HS, felt like my head was gonna explode never again since

[Gumby]

I've always wanted to use horatio .. first time ever!

[dovo]

Why are his hands/arms stuck in that position?!

cuz the guy died in that position.. his body hardened. and when ppl went over to see if he is ok by pulling the chair, his body slumped down in that position.. :okay:

[see.lai]

Damn that's fucked up, but I'm gonna play some dota tonight, after working out. No heart condition unless my teammates feed,

NO WONDER DEM ASIAN DUDES BE SO GOOD AT MOBAS

[AzNightmare]

How'd he die with his hands frozen in that position?? wtf

[Hondaracer]

it's called rigamortis.. [sp]

[epicbeardman]

Guess when he told his raiding party he's going to need a rez soon, they should have listened.

[2 n r]

at least he died in a less compromising position than the kid who fapped himself to death..

[Drow]

he has nothing on milkfat.

he recently broke the world record of consecutive gaming by playing HoN for 76 hours.

they engaged in combat and druid forgot to bring reagents! fail. No battle rez for him.

learnt this 2 days ago in my forensics sciences course LUL

after you die your muscles relax and then become stiff/rigid (aka rigor mortis). Only happens within the first 24 hours and disappears by 36.

holy fuck milkfat? i remember playing with that kid in the good old wc3 dota days. He was a top admin in DXD (an inhouse league run by some people down at cali and was operated in USWEST battlenet). MILKFAT actually run a lot of lans around his place and this lan center called howies. Damn 72 hours that is sick. 24 hours of playing non top is really nothing too be honest -_- i do it all the time back then when playing DotA on WC3

[sindragon]

paralyzed and was like meh... the DoT on me will run out before i finish this LoL game :badpokerface:

at first i thought the smh.com stood for shake my head for a second until i read underneath that it stood for the sydney morning herald lol

[Greenstoner]

lol.. im in taiwan now and i went to one of those internet cafe.

they all mind their own business and wont even look at others. A lot of people take nap or simply just sleep there.

i think that is the reason that no one cares.

The people who works there wont come to you unless you buzz them on your computer for ordering food.

I play a better, more addicting game. Dota 2, and I even played WoW since 04 until 2011 January. I stopped playing WoW over a year ago.. but back then I'd play four almost 24 hours straight or more. Couldn't do that with Dota but still, I played a lot..
But I also walk, I run sometimes.. even a little bit mixed in without paying attention to that will help you not die. If you simply sleep and get up and game, yeah, it'll add up .. but over the years.. it wont happen in a day or week or month or a year. It takes a life time of that habit.

[yot065]

dayam im quitting now lololol

[pinn3r]

23 hours :joy ... I can only game for 4-5 hours max; any more after that and I'd probably fall asleep :pokerface:

[achiam]

Why are his hands/arms stuck in that position?!

Riga mortis. He'd likely been dead for several hours, and the muscle cells were deprived of calcium and oxygen. This causes the muscle fibers to lock, and the dead person to be "stiff."

EDIT: might be oxygen starvation alone, I forgot.

[Noir]

Werd. 24hrs is nothing when you're doing something that you're both enjoying and you happen to be in a roll.

I've done similar stretches with:

web coding (work)
snowboard (sport)
WoW (gaming)
COD (gaming)

[MelonBoy]

hmm not really a marathon.. it says he frequently took naps during his stay?

[Phil@rise]

Wow it looks as tho alot of you guys didnt pay attention in science or biology class.

23 hrs is nothing, I've had tons of 2-3 days non-stop on Diablo II & Starcraft back in HS

By the end, I had a kickass level 97 pvp Amazon, level 92 magic find Sorcerer, etc and still got accepted to both SFU and UBC. Then again I've trained in various styles of martial arts all my life since I was 4 so my body can handle it.

[StaxBundlez]

I think it's fun late at night, rainy days, or when your buddies are over.

when it get's to 23 hrs on your own.. that's a bit excessive...

[punjabking]

wtf happy i dont have a system probably be like him...lol...
