A 32-year-old Taiwanese man has reportedly died after a three-day gaming binge at an internet cafe in the island's south, the second such case this year.

The man, identified by his family name Hsieh, was found dead in his chair in the cafe in Kaohsiung city. 

At first other persons thought he was sleeping, but when an employee realised he was not breathing. Then the man was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead, the Taipei Times reported. Doctors said he had suffered a "sudden death" from prolonged computer gaming, the report said. 

"Hsieh was a regular customer here and always played for all days. When tired, he would sleep face-down on the table or lay in his chair. That is why we didn’t care of his condition in the beginning," the employee said.

It was not clear what Hsieh was playing at the time of his death, with the report describing it only as "combat computer games".

The case came after a 38-year-old man was found dead at an internet cafe in New Taipei City on January 1 following five days straight of video game binging.

Police said in both cases other persons appeared no care about the deaths, continuing playing even when they were very tired.
