Searching for 김경재 "뮤 온라인" yields no usable sources. Furthermore, the contents of the article do not reflect the one actual citation from the Guardian. If a better source can be found, I'd still recommend the subject matter be tucked into a sentence or two in Video_game_addiction#Deaths.

Kim Kyung-Jae (c. 1978 – 2002) is the first human being in history to die from literally playing a video game too much. According to publicly available English-speaking sources, he died of deep-vein thrombosis or DVT after playing the Webzen video game Mu for 86 hours in Gwangju, with pauses only to purchase cigarettes and to use the bathroom.[1] Although no medical report is available in English, it is worth noting that prolonged immobility as well as vein condition are diatheses that increase the odds of contracting deep vein thrombosis.
