Not directly. However, there have been numerous cases in which prolonged, intense sessions of gaming have resulted in a person's death. One reason is that gamers will often be sitting in the same position for many hours on end. After a very prolonged period of sitting in the same position (if I had to guess, around as little as 18 hours or as much as 36 hours) a blood clot can form in a major artery. The blood clot will likely remain dormant until the player takes a break, and as soon as they change positions and/or stand up the blood clot can become dislodged and shoot into the person's heart causing cardiac arrest. Other things unrelated to blood clots, usually related to extreme hypertension, can lead to a gamer's death.
So, no, not directly. The sedentary nature of gaming can definitely lead to issues that can lead to the death of those who game.

Can you be addicted to technology?
When you say computer addiction, I am going to assume you are talking about video game addiction, not pornography addiction. That being said, It is hard to come up with statistics for how prevalent video game addiction is because it is not a formal diagnosis. This means each study that is done on video game addiction uses different criteria to define what video game addiction is. Three different studies were done in Germany which said that 6%, 3%, and 12% of teenagers showed signs of video game addiction, so you can see how the lack of a formal definition produces inconsistent results. Unfortunately its hard to answer your question because so little is known about video game addiction. However, many addiction professionals do take it seriously. If you know someone who you think may be suffering from video game addiction, you should see If they are willing to accept help, and encourage them to try addiction treatment and/or a twelve step program.
