I think the World Record is 11 days without sleep. I did I think it was 14 without much food (forced) and zero sleep. Once a person goes beyond a threshold, it would take drugs to induce sleep, as your body doesn't know when it is awake or asleep, hence severe hallucinations.
Too bad I don't have any Guiness people around...
Two Days without Sleep and little food will not kill you unless you have a previous condition as was already stated. Your body needs water, but food it can live without for extended periods as it would scavange itself, muscles, etc. for sustinance. He probably never even went into any sort of functional effect in his body. My guess, is he could not replenish his electrolytes and had a heart condition. The stress of the game raised his levels... and bam.

He probably thought he'd respawn on the other side of the map.

After playing that long, he probably thought it would be easier just to res at the spirit healer and hearth back to IF.

Someone should sue the software company. Maybe, if there had been a spirit healer, he would still be alive

But yeah, the guy quit his job so he could play more video games. I guess he died happy.

Yeah, this story sounds fishy. I remember a similiar story a few years ago.

Game over - 86 nonstop hours later
October 09 2002 at 10:53AM
Seoul, South Korea - A 24-year-old South Korean man died after playing computer games nonstop for 86 hours, said police on Wednesday.
The jobless man, identified by police only by his last name Kim, was found dead on Tuesday at an Internet cafe in Kwangju, 260km south-west of Seoul, they said.
Quoting witnesses, police detective Oh Myong-sik in Kwangju said the man had been virtually glued to the computer since late on Friday and had no decent sleep and meals.
The man collapsed in front of the counter desk but soon regained his consciousness. He then went to the toilet where he was found dead, said the police officer.
An initial investigation ruled out the possibility of murder, said police.
South Korea is among the world's most Internet-savvy nations with more than half of its 47 million people having access to the Internet. South Korea has about 22 000 Internet cafes, also known as PC rooms.
Many PC rooms are open 24 hours, but no minors are allowed after 10pm. - Sapa-AP

We have a nice Korean population here in Melbourne, many cafes here, and I've seen them TV shows too.. Something like 75% of S. Korean homes have BB access.
