“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,” the employee was quoted as saying. It was not clear what Hsieh was playing at the time of his death, with the report describing it only as “combat computer games”.
