From 2005: Korean drops dead after 50-hour gaming marathon
I ran across an old bookmark that led to this from the Timesonline.com:
A 28-year-old South Korean man collapsed and died of exhaustion after playing a computer game almost non-stop for 50 hours.
The man, identified only by his family name Lee, sat down to play the online battle simulation game Starcraft at an internet cafe in the southern city of Taegu last Wednesday morning and stayed there for the next three days, stopping only for brief naps or toilet breaks.
And they say there’s no harm in playing video games.
