Such a pity. I blame his parents.
If you see your child is getting addicted to something, cut them off from that thing till they learn to do without it.

Maraokere:
A video game addict from Thailand died in front of his computer while as he played through the night

The 17-year old boy, identified as Piyawat Harikun from Udon Thani, who was reportedly on holidays, collapsed and died in front of his computer while he played all through the night.

Piyawat's father Jaranwit, said they found him collapsed from the computer chair and was slumped against a PC tower on the floor when they went to the bedroom on Monday afternoon (Oct.5)

He said

"there was a pile of takeaway boxes on the desk and a bottle of fizzy pop at his feet, while his headphones were resting on top of another computer tower.

he would stay up all-night then draw the curtains in the day to continue his fixation with gaming, spending hours on the computer at the home.

We would take food to his room and urged him to stop, but Piyawat just didn't want to cut down on his obsession".

Jaranwit, an air force officer, said he tried to revive his son but he was already dead.

He said: 'I called his name and said 'wake up, wake up' but he did not respond. I could see he was dead.'

Medics who examined the body said the teenager died from a stroke, which they believe was caused by playing the computer constantly through the night.

Jaranwit admitted that his son was a gaming addict, saying:

'My son was smart and always did great at school but he had a major problem with gaming addiction.

'I tried to warn him about his relentless long hours playing games and he promised to reduce it, but it was too late.

'He had already died before he had a chance to change.

'I want my son's death to be an example and warning for parents whose children are game addicts. They need to be more strict on their children's playing hours otherwise they could end up like my son.

He must be sick or something
The only sensible comment.

Is that how gaming addicts just die?

If the father used the rod, there are people on this nairaland that would scream child abuse. Now that he is dead, the father will live his life in peace without any of these activists crying after him that he didn't give the boy freedom.

In as much as the society keep going against the scriptures, there will always be consequences.

This is why I hate that phrase WHATEVER MAKES THEM HAPPY. Some people don't deserve freedom because of their own good. Including some adults, sadly.

OgogoroFreak:
Why did he die?

Maybe he masturbated excessively in the guise of playing video game, releasing every useful "thing" from his body in the process.
