A video game
addict burned himself to death after being 'tipped over the edge' when
his father told him to stop playing and get more sleep.

games fan, Hsueh Jun-Chen, 22, had been in his room at his family home
in the town of Fenyuan in western Taiwan when father Liu, 48, knocked on
his door and told him to go to sleep.
The two then exchanged heated words and the father told his son he was fed up with his gaming and wanted him to stop. But
the next day he realised Hsueh was missing and when he went outside to
look for him, he found the boy's charred remains 300 metres away, with
empty bottles of petrol lying nearby.
Devastated
Liu said: 'I had simply said that he should sleep rather than play
because university was starting again after the holidays. He said he would and that's the last time I saw him alive.'
'When I saw that he wasn't in his room the next day, I went into the garage to see if he had gone out on his motorbike. The bike was still there but I noticed that two cans of petrol were missing. That made me feel worried and I began to fear the worst. I could never have thought he would do something as extreme as this though.'
