Wow, that's kind of sad the media made it sound like he was just some fat asshole who did nothing but live on the game. Not that he had health problems and couldn't really sleep so he played the game instead. If I couldn't sleep for three fucking days I'd probably play the game the entire time as well. Especially if my health problem made me not able to do much else.

I think it would be cool if Blizzard did something for him, at least name a legendary item after him. Maybe something like "Russell The Sleepless".

what shitty journalism. it's most likely that his death had nothing to do with diablo 3, but the title of the article makes it sound like it was the sole cause. it would be like saying, "EXTRA EXTRA man dies after walk in the park!!! ...it was reported he was 190 years old and had pre-existing heart conditions."

If he was in Act 1 someone could have lured monsters into his home to kill him, assuming higher difficulty than nightmare they could easily overwhelm an unsuspecting victim.

Moral of the story: if you think you're about to die, make sure your computer screen has something other than a video game on it. If media gets wind of it, they'll go hog wild.

maybe he knew he was gonna die in 3 days, so he played d3 for 3 days straight so he can die doing something he enjoys.

I'd much rather see a headline of "Man dies of heart attack after 72 hour blank notepad fest, possible hacker".
