The man, identified as Hsieh, went into the Internet cafe on Jan. 6 and was found motionless on a table on Jan. 8. Investigators said the man had a heart attack. His death went unnoticed for several hours as gamers continued around him.

Family members told police the 32-year-old man was unemployed and would often disappear for several consecutive days. Workers said they didn't notice the man had died because he would often take naps. "Hsieh was a regular customer here and always played for consecutive days. When tired, he would sleep face-down on the table or doze off slumped in his chair. That is why we were not aware of his condition in the beginning," a cafe attendant told the Taipei Times.

Police said in both cases other gamers seemed uninterested in the commotion. "We went inside to cordon off the tables and had investigators there to gather evidence. Only then did the other patrons realize that someone had died, but they still showed no concern and kept playing their games," a police spokesperson told the Taipei Times. "We were amazed at their nonchalant attitude."
