A 16-year-old boy from Erode passed away after he fainted while playing PubG on his mobile phone. He is suspected to have had a heart attack shortly after he fainted.
The young deceased boy Satish Kumar lived in Kamala Nagar with his parents. He had been pursuing his education in Textile Designing at a Private Polytechnic College. Puthiyathalaimurai reported that Satish Kumar was continuously playing PubG since yesterday. Since the lockdown has limited people’s activities, the young boy had been playing the game online, with his friends while staying at home.
On Tuesday afternoon, while the boy was continuing to play the game, he fainted. His parents rushed him to the hospital, but he was declared brought dead.
Puthiyathalaimurai has reported that he had complained after losing in the game on Monday night, after which his parents had warned him against playing the game. However, Satish is said to have been addicted to the game because of which he turned a deaf ear to his parents and continued to play. Unfortunately, he passed away due to cardiac arrest.
