If you’ve played enough League of Legends, you know how annoying it is when that last player on your team fails to log in and kicks everyone back to the home screen. According to the New York Daily News, however, one player in Chinese Taipei might have had a valid excuse: He was dead.

Not only did 23-year-old Chen Rong-yu expire while playing LoL during a 23-hour session earlier this month, but his corpse apparently went unnoticed for nine hours. “I thought that he was only dozing off and paid no particular attention,” said the waitress at the Internet cafe who finally made the discovery. According to a blog post on MMOCulture (Warning: graphic images), heart medicine was found nearby, suggesting a pre-existing condition.

But did he get a death summary?

    This doesn’t seem like much controversy. If he looked like he was sleeping and he paid for a 23 whatever hour pass, then whatever. Also, 8 hours is pretty average for sleeping… but if he fell asleep at his computer, then he would probably sleep more than normal, which explains the 9 hour thing. I don’t think the Cafe is in any fault for this, because he looked like he was sleeping. If you have a health issue, let the Cafe know before hand or make other such precautions.

    Question I’d like to ask is:

    Did he drop any decent loot?
