Zhang, a 26-year-old overweight man from China’s Liaoning Province, died last weekend after playing online video games for several hours for seven straight days.
According to a doctor, Zhang died from overwork and obesity.
It occurred during the recent Spring Festival holiday and many people did similar things.
“I am a little scared after reading the story of Zhang, because I did almost the same thing like him,” resident Wang Rui said.
“I also played games for such a long time that I could hardly find time to sleep during the holiday,” he added.
I would have expected Zhang’s weight to have kept him alive but I guess his heart just couldn’t take it.
