Well, it seems to have happened again, except this time you can blame the diabolical Euro 2012 for a similar tragedy.

Jiang Xiaoshan, a Chinese soccer (football?) fan died after going 11 nights without sleep as he tried to watch every single kick of the ball of Euro 2012.

Because of the time difference, he reportedly stayed up each night with friends and then went to work the following day.

A huge England and France fanatic, Xiaoshan died of exhaustion on Tuesday morning following the Ireland versus Italy match, where he had a shower, fell asleep and never woke up.

Of course alcohol and tobacco are taking some of the blame, but ultimately the chronic exhaustion was the main cause of his death as it weakened his immune system.

The moral of the story…nothing good comes from watching the Euro Cup.
