Apparently games can kill!

I just read a news where a 28 year old korean guy died after playing online games for 50 hours nearly non-stop.

Seems that quite a few people are grinning from ear to ear to proclaim that this is yet, another proof that gaming is bad. And these are the people that would conveniently 'forgot' that doing anything for 50 hours straight could be detrimental to your health.

If someonebody is stupid enough to work 50 hours straight and died from exaustion, then it is obvious that work is bad right? right?

On another note.. my colleague said that someone else died after listening to a walkman for 40 odd hours straight. Now.. I wonder what conclusion you can draw from that?
