MANILA, Philippines – A young man from San Pedro, Laguna, who was fond of playing Mobile Legends, reportedly died due to sleep deprivation from excessive gaming, according to a family member.

“Sabi nga ng iba sa sobra mong linis sa katawan. Magkakasakit ka ang mga madudumi hindi man lang nagkakasakit. Ang lakas niya pa tapos kinabukasan hindi na siya nakakatayo at sumasakit yung ulo,” Carmi wrote.

The next day, the family noticed that Trunks was no longer in the right state of mind.

Seeing the abrupt change in Trunks’ health condition, the family decided to rush him to the hospital. Reportedly, the young gamer tested negative for COVID-19. Since there were no medical findings on Trunks’ condition, the family opted to take him home as the young man was already exhausted.

“Inuwi namin siya sa bahay kasi nagpapauwi na siya pagod din kasi nakahiga lang siya sa wheelchair,” Cami narrated.

Despite the family’s efforts to help Trunks recover, the young gamer’s health condition kept getting worse. Trunks allegedly experienced trouble breathing before dying in front of his entire family on Thursday, June 27.

“Isang araw eto yung hindi namin inaasahan nagpakitang gilas lang siya samin hanggat unting unti na nauubos ang hininga niya kasama ang buong pamilya. Hanggat nagpaalam na siya samin lumuha pa nga siya at pilit na lumalaban kaso ayaw na ng katawan niya masakit pero kakayanin namin kaysa makita namin siya araw-araw,minu-minutong nahihirap sa kalagayan niya,” Cami recalled.

Although medical experts have not yet confirmed Trunks’ real cause of death, prolonged sleep deprivation can cause a number of health problems such as memory issues, mood changes, trouble with thinking and concentrating, weakened immunity, increased blood pressure, risk for diabetes and heart diseases, weight gain and increased risk for premature death.
