Gamer dies in Taiwanese internet café - body ignored for 10 hours

A 23-year-old World of Warcraft-player recently died in a Taiwanese internet café. The discovery was made when the clerk at the internet café came to notify him that the 23-hour pass that he had purchased had run out. He had been dead for 10 hours by then.
After making the discovery the clerk called the police. The police report that they were shocked at the disinterest from other gamers at the location, who just wanted to continue gaming and didn't really show any interest.
“I thought that he was only dozing off and paid no particular attention,” the clerk said, but when he came to wake him up he saw that he was sitting rigidly in his chair and that his face was blackened.
The initial police report suggests that he might have died from cardiac arrest triggered by low temperatures, and the man apparently already had heart-problems.
