25 year old man dies from playing Wii Fit

Tim Eves tragically died on Monday, right in front of his girlfriend Emma while showing off his jogging skillz. Tim was a scout troop leader, and avid outdoorsman. He was in the best shape of his life and enjoyed many physically demanding activities like bicycling and more. However, even not the most fit of people could survive the doom of the Wii. While jogging on the Wii Fit, he collapsed and died right in front of his girlfriend and best friend. They frantically tried to save him but their efforts were no match for the Wii, as it had claimed another victim. This should be a warning to all: Anyone, regardless of age, gender, sex, nationality, race, obesity, health conditions, can fall victim to the Wii.
