Seriously.You make 35 sound like 70.
Always scared of something like this happening. Sometimes I'm going through 50+ hours of no sleep and feel awful.
Anyways RIP PoShYbRiD.
R.I.P.
Is it not more probable that had would die from a thrombosis while still being seated? It sounds like a coincidence that he died exactly after standing up, and while not being on camera. And the family is not releasing details. I've never watched any of his streams, so I have really no idea about his personality or his history, but somehow it sounds to me like this could have been a suicide?
He could feel like he's fine for hours, and then when he gets up, a blood clot moves from his leg to his heart and suddenly it's all over.
It's the movement that dislodges a clot. So you can sit there and think you're fine, while a clot forms in an artery. Then you move, the clot moves, and ends up blocking your heart
wtf?
35 is not 80
in fact you should be at peak(physically and mentally) at 35
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — Police are investigating the death of a popular Virginia gamer who died during the home stretch of a 24-hour marathon video game session he was streaming online to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
News outlets report that 35-year-old Brian Vigneault was about 22 hours into playing "World of Tanks" on Twitch.tv when he stood up from his computer early Sunday to take a smoke break. He never returned.
Vigneault was found unresponsive at his Virginia Beach home later that evening and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Virginia Beach police spokeswoman Tonya Borman says police don't suspect foul play in his death. His cause of death is unclear.
Vigneault's Twitch profile says he had raised nearly $11,000 for various charities during his 5-year streaming career.
wonder if he had clot problems and all the sitting made it worse and a blood clot got released when he went to go out

Could be that or his heart gave out from sheer exhaustion. It increases blood pressure and makes the heart work harder. It's just a really bad idea to stay up an entire day or more.
I don't know why people do this or encourage it. It's dangerous and should be banned or at least discouraged by streaming services.
They are definitely unhealthy. You shouldn't really sit for more than 1 hour at a time without breaks.I've been thinking for a while that these 24 hour stream events were potentially hazardous to peoples' health.
The cause is just, but there are surely safer ways to raise money.
A reminder to the rest to not take your health lightly.
24hrs? This may have been the most unhealthy person ever.

Streaming services could do with a timer cap that kicks you offline for an hour after 12+ maybe, only disabling it for big mutli people events.

That's worseI do the majority of my gaming/TV watching laying back in bed.
I assume that's safer?
