Avid video gamer dies from heart attack
SEOUL, South Korea (August 11 2005)
A 28-year-old man died of an apparent heart attack after playing computer games nonstop for 49 hours in an Internet cafe, police said.
The man, identified only by his last name, Lee, collapsed Friday after having eaten minimally and not sleeping. He had refused to leave his keyboard while he played the battle simulation game Starcraft, police said.
Lee, a resident in the southern city of Taegu, was quickly moved to a hospital but died after a few hours, due to what doctors believed was a heart attack, police said.
Lee had been fired from his job last month because he kept missing work to play computer games, police said.

...so, it would seem that videogames DON'T make kids turn violent and kill people. The videogames themselves are already violent and busy killing people.
