[Coyote]

Die of starvation? Wouldn't he die of dehydration first?

i think people who live on their computers are more likely to die of coke poisoning :weird:

i would believe a hypoglycaemic coma leading to death, but starvation? try 20 days without food in a hunger strike - 5 days without water.

Sounds like a hoax - the way it's written is suspect and it does not sound plausible - people do not function fine then suddenly drop down dead from starvation. And are we to believe he sat at that machine constantly all that time? No matter how obsessed someone is with the computer, they still have to sleep, drink and excrete and eat - neglect any of those things for a while and the need will assert itself. I've never heard of anyone ever accidentally starving to death under any other circumstances - I feel disinclined to believe the report.
