This week, another life was lost in China, due to gaming addiction. An unidentified 30 year old man collapsed in an Internet café outside of Beijing, after three days of nonstop online gaming. Witnesses say that the man was there for three days gaming, taking in little food and drink, with no sleep whatsoever. Then he collapsed on Monday morning, slipping into a coma. Later, he died at a near clinic. Over 10,000 yuan (around $1520.94 USD) of his money was reportedly invested on Internet gaming in the past 30 days. Homicide has been ruled out as a cause for his death, and several computers at the scene have now been confiscated.
