Healthy 25-year old man dies playing Wii Fit

A fit and healthy 25-year-old man, collapsed and died in front of his horrified girlfriend and best friend while playing Wii Fit.

Tim Eves was ‘jogging’ on Wii Fit when he slumped to the floor. Paramedics dashed to the house, and rushed Tim, who had been fit and well, to hospital but it was too late.

A post-mortem has been held, but the cause of death is yet to be determined. The family were told he could have been killed by Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.

The tragedy occured on March 4th at the home Tim shared with best friend Lewis Hickin, in Hopton-on-Sea, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. His devestated girlfriend, Emma Tuck said last night, “Tim was the best boyfriend anyone could have and the best friend a girl could have. I love him loads and will miss him so much.”

Tim’s death happened just hours after he had flown home from celebrating his mother’s 50th birthday in Portugal, and he had spoken to her on the phone just minutes before he collapsed.

His mother June said, “We spoke to him on the phone when he was playing on the Wii machine. But a little while after he put the phone down, he collapsed for no reason. It was completely out of the blue.”

She added, “They still can’t come up with an answer why it happened, which is one of the reasons it is so hard to come to terms with – there was no reason for it. It isjust unbelievable. We keep waiting for him to walk round the corner, it’s awful. It’s still very raw.”

Tim, who was a labourer for Steel Services in Yarmouth, was buried with his favourite fishing rods and drumsticks at St. Margaret’s Church in Hopton-on-Sea on March 20th.
