Another Wii contest death.

Very sad. Here's the link.Another Wii contest death.
i heard about this on the news......its a sick world we live inAnother Wii contest death.
That sucks.
It's not a contest deathThe kid had a heart condition that killed him. If he was running for his dog he would have died also. It had nothing to do with the Wii.He was going to pick it up. He won the Wii in a raffle.

[QUOTE=''schu'']i heard about this on the news......its a sick world we live in[/QUOTE]ummm what??? that was a very wrong statement, he had a heart attack, how does that mean we live in a sick world??
wait he died of the running, not cuz of the contest. right?
Thats sad. But its not as bad as the hold your wee for a wii. The people there knew what could happen but they still did it anyway.

Awww that sucks, so who gets the unclaimed Wii?
[QUOTE=''Tech-Man08'']Awww that sucks, so who gets the unclaimed Wii?[/QUOTE]Rumor is he's being buried with it.
He's playing Brawl before all of us, I suppose. RIP.
Damn, what a sad notice, there is nothing more sad than a unexpected death, my condolence to the family.
[QUOTE=''schu'']i heard about this on the news......its a sick world we live in[/QUOTE]It's a trgic accident caused by a heart condition. the state of the world we live in had nothing to do with the boy's death. In many ways, we do live in a sick world, but what does that have to do with heart conditions?
Poor Kid:(
[QUOTE=''CmdrMCLinkses'']Very sad. Here's the link.[/QUOTE]The topic heading is very misleading. It insinuates that somehow the Wii contest itself has claimed yet another victim, and the contests must be stopped before they claim any more lives.

Dunno but I read his comment, and the topic title, and I thought someone had killed another for a Wii.



Wasnt till later I watched the vid and found out what actually happend.



But thats hardly the Case here.



Anyway back on topic, yeah that sucks.



May he Rest in Peace.
So...did he have to run? Was that part of the contest?Either way, sad story. Too young to go. I hope he's playing Galaxy in Videogame heaven.
Not to be mean...But who ended up with the Wii
