Indore: A 16-year-old boy died of cardiac arrest after playing PUBG game on his mobile for six hours in a stretch in Neemuch town of Madhya Pradesh. In a report published by the Times of India, the deceased has been identified as Furkhan Qureshi, a 12th-standard student hailing from the town of Neemuch situated in Madhya Pradesh.

Dr. Ashok Jain, Cardiologist says, "He was brought without a pulse. We tried to resuscitate him but we couldn't."

According to the family, Furkhan started playing PUBG after lunch. Before collapsing on the floor, he became agitated and started shouting on other players. The incident took place on May 26 at around 7 pm.

According to the report, Furkhan's sister Fiza Qureshi was nearby when the incident occurred. She was quoted by the TOI report saying, "My brother was playing PUBG with some of his friends. Suddenly, he started shouting 'carry out the blast..carry out blast'. Then he threw his earphones and mobile and cried saying, Ayan I will not play with you. I lost the game because of you."

"The boy was brought to the hospital without a pulse. We tried to revive him, but failed in our attempt," Cardiologist Dr. Ashok Jain, who examined Furkhan told ANI.

Jain mentioned that as Furkhan's family told him he was a swimmer, his heart seemed to be healthy. "The excitement of the game may have caused an adrenaline surge, causing cardiac arrest," quoted Jain in the report.

A case has been registered by the police and more investigations are underway on as to what triggered the 16-year-old's death.
