A moment of silence at the least should be observed.

"A police spokesman said today that an autopsy would be carried out to determine the cause of the death of the man."

I suggest they check all ash trays in the room. Somking had to be in there somewhere.

what actually kills these unfortunates...

Probably some impaction in the lower bowels. Backed everything up. Forgot to download.

If you live to be 60 and sleep 8 hrs a day you will have wasted 20 years.
I ain't got that much time to waste.

3rd such report in about a month. Something doesn't seem right with this explanation.

Plenty of Pachenko players in the Asian countries and slot machine addicts here in the US over the past 50 years to provide precedence for this sort of episode, but this seems to be happening more frequently.

I wonder what neurological studies have been conducted matching clock rate of digital PC gaming with optical perception and neural processing. Perhaps some indirect programming of the brain is being conducted, not directly perceived, but underlying the functional processes of neurological routing and firings.

If you drink 12 glasses of water, I seriously doubt if you will get eight hours of continuous sleep.
