KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan — A Taiwanese man who was on a three-day computer gaming binge died in an Internet cafe and went unnoticed for hours, the second such death in the area in less than a month.
The man, identified as Hsieh, went into the Internet cafe on Jan. 6 and was found motionless on a table on Jan. 8. Investigators said the man had a heart attack. His death went unnoticed for several hours as gamers continued around him.
“The CCTV footage from the Internet cafe showed that he had a small struggle before he collapsed motionless,” Jennifer Wu, a police spokesperson from the Hunei district, told CNN.
