Piyawat Harikun Parents
Towards the end of October, Piyawat Harikun had finished school for the holidays. After breaking away from classes, the 17-year-old spent his days doing what he loved the most playing multiplayer video games on his PC.
His parents said he would stay up all night then draw the curtains in the day to continue his fixation with gaming, spending hours on the computer at home in Udon Thani, northern Thailand.
They would take food to his room and urged him to stop, but he refused to cut down on his obsession.
A few days into the school holiday, the teen’s father, Jaranwit, sadly found Piyawit on the floor in his room. He had seemingly fallen from his computer chair and slumped against a PC tower on the floor on Monday, November 4, at their home in Udon Thani, northern Thailand. Jaranwit tried to revive him, but tragically Piyawat had already passed away.
There was a pile of takeaway boxes on the desk and a bottle of fizzy pop at his feet, while his headphones were resting on top of another computer tower.

Jaranwit admitted that his son was a gaming addict and warned other parents not to allow their children to become hooked on the games.
He said: My son was smart and always did great at school but he had a major problem with gaming addiction.
I tried to warn him about his relentless long hours playing games and he promised to reduce it, but it was too late.
He had already died before he had a chance to change.
I want my sons’ death to be an example and warning for parents whose children are game addicts. They need to be more strict on their children’s playing hours otherwise they could end up like my son.
The boy’s body was taken from the hospital to a nearby Buddhist temple where his devastated father was waiting to arrange a funeral.
