From usatoday, State-run media report that a man died Saturday after three days of non-stop gaming at an Internet cafe in Guangzhou, China.
"Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe," Beijing News says, according to the Associated Press. The Chinese paper theorizes that the 30-year-old man "died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet."
AFP says one medic thinks it may have caused heart problems. Reuters says officials have ruled out suicide.
Beijing News didn't report what game he was playing at the time of his death.

I bet there will be a spike in sales of whatever game it was. Warcraft?
What's amazing is that this happened in public. If he was playing a Vegas slot machine they would've hooked him up to an IV.
