A boy died behind a computer keyboard while playing a popular online music game inside an internet cafe in Hua Mark area Thursday, police said.

The unidentified boy, believed to be about 15 years old, was found dead nearly two hours after paying for service to use the computer at 1:40 pm.

Sarawut Khamjanya, 26, the caretaker of the shop, told police that he saw the boy appearing as if sleeping when the two-hour service he paid for was running out.

So, he alerted the boy that time had run out but the boy was staring at the ceiling and said nothing.

He checked and found the boy was not breathing so he ran out to alert police at a nearby police booth near the Lam Salee Intersection.
