From the BBC:
...
Dr Hyung Gon Song who works in the emergency department of the Samsung Hospital in Seoul has recently dealt with two cases when people collapsed and died after marathon gaming sessions.
The latest was a 17 year old high school student who suffered heart failure after playing non stop in a PC Bang for two days.
"These guys do not sleep, do not eat and some do not even stop to go to the toilet. Dirty smoky air, the noises, the flashing lights and the stress can easily over stimulate the cerebral cortex," says Dr Hyung.
