Gamer from the USA died during a charity online marathon

The popular American gamer Brian Vignio, known as Poshhybrid, organized the Marathon of the World of Tanks game in order to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation charity organization. The broadcasts lasted about 20 hours, and the 24-hour stream was supposed to be the culmination of the week, EUROSPORT reports.

Vignio, who lived in the city of Virginia-Beach, began playing on February 18 at 5:30 local time and was supposed to finish by Sunday evening. Having played 22 hours, Gamer stepped on a smoke break and disappeared.

The moderators and spectators of the channel suggested that Brian fell asleep. But one of the friends called the police to Vignio's house, who found a gamer dead on the floor.

The official cause of the death of 35-year-old Vignio, the father of three children, has not yet been established. As PVPLive suggests, he could have heart problems due to lack of sleep. In the video of Stream it is clear that the gamer is trying not to fall asleep.
