16-Year-Old Boy Died Of Heart Attack After Playing PUBG Non-Stop For 6 Hours

Winner Winner Chicken, don’t be addicted to video games for your own health.

While turning to mobile games and video games can be a stress reliever and all, playing it for longer hours than you should be is not a good thing.

PlayersUnknown’s Battleground or PUBG, has been in the spotlight recently due to many things surrounding their players. And they have not been good things.

Damn, that winner winner chicken dinner.

Went Into Cardiac Arrest

On May 28, Furkhan Qureshi, a 16-year-old from the town of Neemuch in Madhya Pradesh, India, suffered a cardiac arrest. This was a result of playing PUBG for six hours. Straight.

His father, Harun Rashid Qureshi, said that his son started playing the game right after lunch, and continued to play it for six hours after. Just before he collapsed, he was very agitated and was shouting at other players.

His sister, Fiza Qureshi, was right next to him during the whole ordeal. She said that her brother was playing PUBG with some of his friends when suddenly he started shouting. Then, he threw his earphones and mobile and cried.

“Ayan I will not play with you. I lost the game because of you.”

Declared Dead

He was quickly taken to the hospital, but the doctors declared him dead. According to a cardiologist at the hospital, Furkhan was brought in without a pulse.

They tried to revive him with an electric shock, and also injected him in an attempt to revive his heart. However, they failed.

They also pointed out that Furkhan had no previous records of any heart ailments.

The doctor said, “The excitement of the game might have caused a surge in adrenaline causing cardiac arrest. I appeal to the children to stay away from such games as excitement could cause cardiac arrest.”

Other PUBG Addictions

Furkhan is not the only case of a PUBG addiction gone wrong, though.

Groom PUBG-ing At Own Wedding

Just a while back, a viral Tiktok video of a groom playing PUBG at his own wedding caused a lot of controversy on the internet.

Many people pitied the bride who was sitting next to him during the ceremony, while some others found it quite funny. There were also talks of it being staged since people would do anything for views on the internet.

Yet Another PUBG-Related Incident

In January of this year, it was reported that a Malaysian man left his pregnant wife and child due to his PUBG addiction.

The couple often fought due to his addiction to the mobile game, and he had neglected his duties as a father and husband.

She wrote that when she brought up his addiction, he would accuse her of not being supportive of him.

A 9-Year-Old Boy Left In The Car

In May, it was reported that a 9-year-old boy passed away due to playing PUBG in a car. The boy was travelling to attend a wedding ceremony with his parents.

While his parents went to the ceremony, the boy stayed in the car instead to play PUBG.

The car door locked automatically without him realising, and he started to feel breathless and suffocated since he could open the car door to leave.

When his parents finally found him and sent him to the hospital, it was too late.
