Twitch user dies while streaming gameplay for 22 hours

For many of us, video gaming is a side activity we enjoy a couple of hours a day for fun, for this guy however, it was the cause of his death.

Twitch streamer and World of Tanks player Brian “Poshybird” Vineault, 35 , passed away while live streaming for a good cause. The 25-hours marathon was to gather donations for “Make-a-Wish” charity organization that he supported.

During the 22nd hour of the stream viewers noticed Brian’s health worsening as he decided to get up and smoke a cigarette outside, but he never came back. Police is currently investigating the cause of his death, and while staying up for a full day may not be great for your health, it’s highly unlikely that this fellow died because of it and it’s possible that he suffered a health condition that got worse with the long period of sitting down without a movement.

Our deepest condolence to Brian’s family and friends.
