Wii Kills Man
A man has died after a Wii Fit session went terribly awry; during his jogging session on the game, he collapsed and promptly died.
The man, identified as Tim Eves (25), of Norfolk in the UK, was apparently of sound body, enjoying such activities as cycling and fishing, and led a troupe of boy scouts. He worked as a labourer.
It seems he was playing the game, involving pretending to jog on the spot, when he suddenly keeled over. His friend and girlfriend immediately attempted to revive him and summoned medical assistance, but to no avail – he was declared deceased upon arrival at the hospital.
An autopsy is scheduled, but in the mean time so speculate he may have fallen victim to that most dread of killers, “Sudden Adult Death Syndrome”, that is to say he dropped dead for no good reason.
He spoke to his mother shortly before expiring, which revealed something of his healthy lifestyle:
“We spoke to him on the phone when he was playing on the Wii machine. He told us he had just ordered himself a kebab and was sitting there with a glass of port.
But a little while after he had put the phone down, he collapsed for no reason. It was completely out of the blue.
They still can’t come up with an answer why it happened, which is one of the reasons it is so hard to come to terms with – there was no reason for it.
It is just unbelievable.”

Considering the levels of obesity and intemperance common in the UK, it would be interesting to hear details of the unfortunate man’s weight and build…
