South Korean Teen Dies After Twelve Hour Gaming Binge

I'd like to know the real cause of death. Many people are physically active while working for 12 hours or more and survive quite fine.
I would suspect there's more to this, perhaps drugs or some other medical condition.

Uncool. My students in China played for 12 hours straight to block out the constant political oppression caused..by their evil... ha ha ha sorry couldnt go through with it all. Really just wanted to correct your moronic grammar mistake and let you know it's 'this person'.Kenko said:
So you should be suspended. shame on you
Crap. I hate it when stories like this don't have all the background surrounding the incident. I know sometimes it's hard to get all the facts together, but without those facts we get people assuming the one and only factor contributing to the guy's death was the 12-hour gaming session.
its always asians this shit happens to, ive sat and played cod4 for 12 straight hours before, and didnt feel a thing.
i agree i mean we've all done it at some point before... lost track of the time, been determined to get something done and before you know it a whole hunk of time has past... maybe thats what he did and accidently went past his limits i mean we just won't know really we can only guess.
and any one that rips on him saying he's a moron is just the lowest of the low because
A) he's just died, don't you think its a bit insensitive and wrong to take the piss
B) it may not have been his fault
C) and WTF you just dont rip on people *grr angry face*
i know everyone is entitled to thier own opinion but some opinions, mainly the hatefull ones, are best kept to yourselves

some people really should learn to keep their comments to themselves if they are going to be insensitive *shakes head*

i mean like my mother always used to say "if you can't think of anything nicw to say dont say anything at all"
My opinion is that he used drugs. There's not enough information but think about it. He's a gamer and also a student so he's used to taking stimulants. Giving that he played for so long now it's reasonable to assume he did so in the past as well. Since he's also a student I'm assuming he had to keep up with his exams and such but at the same time he was also an avid gamer, so he had to find a way to keep up. Coffee gives you only so much. Other, stronger stimulants like cocaine give you way more of a boost.
He probably used cocaine regularly so as to keep up with his life style of being a student but also a hardcore gamer. Cocaine is known to increase the risk of heart attack and stroke and these are the only two possible reasons he died so suddenly.
Sure, there might have been an undiscovered heart disease but let's face it. In this day and age we can discover any anomalies present in the human body. If he had a heart disease he would've shown symptoms felt by him but also seen by others. If it was a rare condition that had minimal symptoms he did not consider serious then yeah, that might have been the cause but I'm under the assumption that these things usually start affecting you after the age of 25 and/or under specific condition. He's a gamer so he pulled a lot of all nighters and spent many nights not sleeping and since he managed to keep up this life style since he was younger we can safely cross heart disease from the chart. There's always high blood pressure but this disease is rarely ever present in young people and usually there's an underlying reason for it like obesity, excessive smoking, excessive drinking etc. and usually problems start appearing after the age of 40.
Since we crossed heart conditions from the list the only other alternative for such a sudden death is stroke. He either had a problem with clots or an abnormal structure of his veins that would've caused a rupture. If he had blood clots he would've had symptoms before since this disease is genetic. The same goes for an abnormal vein structure. At 19 you're technically quite close to becoming a fully fledged adult. If there was a problem it would have appeared at a younger age.
I can't see any other alternative other than drugs. Then again, I'm not a doctor and everything I've just talked about I've done so using information read from the internet and we all know how reliable that is.
My claim still stands. I cannot see any other reason but drugs.
