  I think it's possible it might've happened although I don't know a specific case. I have read about several instances of gamers having died as a result of prolonged sitting and developing deep vein thrombosis though. Here is an example: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/xbox-addict-chris-staniforth-killed-blood-clot-marathon-gaming-session-england-article-1.162095 http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/xbox-addict-chris-stan...

  Yap, IIRC one Japanese and one Taiwanese dude, but don't remember the specifics.
