Boredoom
A young man in his 20s dropped dead from an exhaustion-induced heart attack after playing Starcraft and the like for fifty hours straight at an "internet café" in Bokhyeon-dong, Buk-gu. I imagine I would have expired from boredom well before that point.
Lee had been playing games like Starcraft for some 50 hours without sleep from about 9:00 p.m. Wednesday until the moment he died on Friday. "I tried to persuade him to go home, but he kept saying, 'Just one more game' and wouldn't budge from his seat,'" the former colleague said. The Internet café's proprietor said Lee hardly ate. "I asked him to at least take a nap in my room, but it was no use."

Never liked Starcraft. Well I suppose you could say the guy died doing something he loved.
