Another Gaming Death in South Korea

I've also stayed up for 48+ hour streches on occasion (w/o naps), and all I was at the end was very tired.  However, I'm in very good shape and what I was doing during that period wasn't stressful at all.  I think it's fair to say that his physiology was already somehow "taxed" before he sat down for the 50 hour run.  The extra load of the marathon computer game session was the "last straw".

I once stayed up for almost a week straight, out of sheer boredom. I also once spent three days without sleep because of a baby bird that fell out of its nest. I cared for it, and didn't want to risk sleeping because somewhere between 4:00 and 5:30 every morning, he'd wake up screaming for food. Then he'd sleep some more. :P
