A man simply known by  his surname Hsieh, was found dead in his chair in front of a computer having spent around 72 hours playing ‘combat’ computer games at the cafe in Taiwan. The 32-year-old was reportedly spotted by staff and other customers lying motionless in his chair, but they all thought he was sleeping.

Hsieh who was rushed to the hospital after a worker called the emergency line, was pronounced dead shortly after. The Worker who found him told the Tapei Times that:

"Hsieh was a regular customer here and always played for consecutive days. When tired, he would sleep face-down on the table or doze off slumped in his chair. That is why we were not
aware of his condition in the beginning."

According to Doctors who examined his body, Hsieh died from heart failure and ruled the incident was a “sudden death” brought on from “prolonged computer gaming”.

In the words of a police spokesman:

"We went inside to cordon off the tables and had investigators there to gather evidence. Only then did the other patrons realise that someone had died, but they still showed no concern and kept playing their games. We were amazed at their nonchalant attitude."
