People are gonna kill me for asking this but:

Did he give anyone permission to loot his corpse - notebooks are a hot
item in internet cafes.

(covers head while he ducks and moves out of range)

Well my day isn't going that great (but much better than his) so don't
mind me. I just needed to outpour something!

This seems to happen every year or two in South Korea. Usually it
happens to somebody playing 48 hours of Diablo II.

I hope you're at least sensible enough to get up and waddle around
occasionally. ;-)

Yes... and I ate also. That was when I made level 99 in 6 days with
GiveMeYourDead on the first LoD ladder. That is called playing to the very
edge of divorce

Being someone who has been battling with ill health my whole life, and with
two people known to me having died within the last month (and another now
terminally ill), I'll well aware not only of my own mortality, but of the
importance of looking after ones self. This man did not die oa a heart
attack. He died because he was stupid and had no respect for his own body.
