Kim Kyung-jae (c. 1978 – 2002) was the first human being to die from playing video games too much. He died of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) after playing the Webzen video game Mu for 86 hours in Gwangju, with pauses only to purchase cigarettes and to use the bathroom.[1] No medical report is available in English. Prolonged immobility as well as vein condition are diatheses that increase the odds of contracting deep vein thrombosis.
