Non survival of the fittest


A 25-year-old
bloke from Blighty said to be fit and healthy, collapsed and died moments after playing Nintendo Wii Fit.

Tim Eves had been playing a ‘jogging level’ of the popular game when he suddenly keeled over in front of his girlfriend Emma Tuck. Tuck tried desperately to revive him but he was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.

If Eves was remotely lardie then everyone would have assumed that he had just over done it but he was a scout leader who enjoyed cycling, fishing and playing drums in a rock band.

Doctors believe he might have been a victim of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome or SADS, which .can cause sudden death in young, apparently healthy people, according to the Web site SADS.org.
