Another East Asian man dies while playing computer games.
Besides the games-are-scary theme, there's a leftover corpse horror level:
A 23-year old League of Legends player named Chen Rong-yu was found dead, sitting upright in his chair, in an Internet cafe in Taiwan. According to the report from Sky News, the young man could have been dead for up to 9 hours before anyone took notice.
MSNBC brings these two levels together very neatly, in mordant Gothic fashion:
Chen Rong-yu, 23, checked into a cafe on Tuesday night, where he would spend the rest of his life.
Apparently the poor man died from heart failure, or blood clots, either caused by... sitting around too much. I will wait for the next campaign against things-which-make-us-sit-down-too-long.
