    Nintendo smash hit Wii Fit is usually associated with improved health, but for one fit and healthy British man, the opposite proved true, with tragic results.

    Tim Eves, who was a keen fisherman, musician, and scout leader from the Norfolk area of eastern England, collapsed and died shortly after playing Wii Fit's jogging minigame -- and just moments after talking to his mother by telephone.


    See Another Wii Fit Controversy
    "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," Eves' mother told the Daily Telegraph.

    A cause of death has not yet been established, but early reports suggest Eves may have been a victim of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome, a condition whereby apparently fit and healthy adults can suffer cardiac arrests with no warning. There's no indication Wii Fit was to blame
    You should copy/paste the article. Sometimes when people are at work it's easier to read this way for various reasons.

    If anyone believes Wii Fit caused it, they are stupid.

    Now why did this come to mind



    Certainly sad to hear of someone dying all of a sudden though.

    Oh wait he's a brit? This can probably be attributed to his bad wooden teeth.
