Dead gamer sat unnoticed for nine hours in net cafe
Stiff competition
A Taiwanese gamer sat dead in a chair at an Internet cafe for up to nine hours before fellow players noticed the poor guy had popped his clogs.
Chen Rong-yu, 23, was discovered lifeless by his computer on Thursday night, his rigid hands stretched towards the keyboard and mouse, Sky News reports.
The unfortunate gamer had been bashing away at the popular League of Legends surrounded by 30 surfers. Not one of them noticed his lack of movement.
The gamer's family told local papers he had recently been treated for a heart problem. Cardiac arrest brought on by low temperatures and a lack of physical movement is likely to be the cause of death.
Sometimes it helps to have twitchy leg syndrome. ®

How insensitive!
How insensitive to the living-impaired community! Dead is a hate word - they prefer "living impaired", or "alternately metabolizing", or "differently entropicly enabled".
"discovered lifeless by his computer"?
Mine never bothers to check on my condition.
He used to be alive like you once...
but then he took an arrow to the... oh, forget it.
Hard to prove...
if you did, you wouldnt know.
unless of course someone did die and you did notice, in which case apologies and deepest sympathies
