strange question

Hey,
I know this is quite an odd question, but do any of you remember hearing about a computer user dying from exhaustion & dehydration, or possibly a heart attack after 50+ hours straight use earlier this year? I can't remember where it was, but I think the person was very young & it might have been in an Internet cafe. In one of my classes last week there was a discussion on the effects of tech addiction and too much immersion in computers and video games: seeing stars, RSI, social alienation, etc. Anyone remember hearing about it? I hope I'm imagining it.
