[LINK] Man dies - a hoax?

[Andy Farkas]

Yesterday's SMH: "Man dies after playing computer games non-stop"

Having heard this story before, a quick google search brings us to:

dated just over a year ago. Further googling (a new verb for the

So, I was wondering if this is actually a hoax. Food for thought I guess.
