Man dies in Taiwan after 3-day online gaming binge
Cold temperatures and over-exhaustion from the long hours spent playing games likely contributed to Hsieh's cardiac arrest, a police statement said.
According to the Taipei Times, the man was a "regular customer" who often played for consecutive days.
"When tired, he would sleep face down on the table or doze off slumped in his chair," the staff member was quoted as saying.
"That is why we were not aware of his condition in the beginning."
Taiwan is no stranger to deaths from marathon sessions of online gaming.
Hsieh's death came after 38-year-old man was found dead at an Internet cafe in Taipei on January 1 after playing video games for five days straight.
And in 2012, the corpse of man who died playing online games went unnoticed for 10 hours by other gamers and staff.
