I Knew it Would Happen Someday

I'm just really surprised it was a 20 year-old, I would've thought maybe a 12 year-old sure, but 20; you would think to get up and walk around every so often!

That's crazy luckily I take breaks to get more beer downstairs so I shouldnt have that problem

Wow me and Mardi fixed this problem already. Step one buy beer. Step 2 Go grab a new one when needed (soon). Step 3 LIVE.

Yep! I'm ok! I have to get up every now and then to get me another beer or take a piss!!

Looks like the general consensus is:

If he would had gotten off his lazy ass to get his beer or other beverages he would have lived.

Also most people here are healthy because we do in-house beer runs every so often!

This isn't the first time this has happened. Guy was playing a game on a computer and it happened to him. It was some type of tournament that he was taking part in or something like that. Seen it on 1000 ways to die.

How is this any different than sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day?

This is very common on 4 + hr flights also, but a 20 yr that odd, I would say this kid sat in some strange position that blocked the flow in his legs, then never moved or had anything to drink. I bet if he had just taken a baby aspirin he would never had happen.

You're right... I know a guy this happened to from working in IT and sitting at a computer all day. He didn't die but had a clot in his
Lung though he was 40 and a smoker. He now walks 3 miles
A day everyday without fail. Apparently that is the minimum we should walk every day. You can achieve this quite easily in a normal days activities though if you don't play ps3 the whole time lol!

I can't actually see the article. Was he British? Only there was a story in the paper last week about a 20 year old British guy.
