Healthy man, 25, collapses and dies playing Wii Fit game<\/h1>\n

A ‘fit and healthy’ 25-year-old man suddenly collapsed and died in front of his horrified girlfriend and best friend as he played a computer game.<\/p>\n

Tim Eves was ‘jogging’ on a Wii Fit games console as Emma Tuck and Lewis Hickin looked on, when he slumped to the floor.<\/p>\n

The tragedy happened just hours after Tim had flown home from celebrating his mother’s 50th birthday in Portugal.<\/p>\n

Devastated Emma, 26, said last night: ‘Tim was the best boyfriend anyone could have and the best friend a girl could have.<\/p>\n

‘I love him loads and will miss him so much.’<\/p>\n

Paramedics dashed to the house and rushed Tim, who had been fit and well, to hospital but it was too late.<\/p>\n

The family were told he could have been killed by Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.<\/p>\n

Also known as <\/font>Sudden Arrhythmia Death Syndrome, it is a <\/strong><\/font>disorder of the electrical system of the heart.
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Those with the condition are vulnerable to an abnormal heart rhythm. During exercise the heart may stop pumping out blood<\/font>, causing the brain to become deprived of blood and sudden death.<\/p>\n

The condition is estimated to kill 500 people a year.<\/font>
\n<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

Tim’s father, Alan, said: ‘He was just such a helpful, considerate and caring person.<\/p>\n

‘He really threw himself into things and lived life to the absolute full.’ <\/p>\n

He added: ‘Tim packed so much into the 25 years that even if he had lived another 25 years he couldn’t possibly have made any more friends.<\/p>\n

‘We all loved him so much.’<\/p>\n

The tragedy occurred on March 4 at the home Tim shared with Lewis, 25, in Hopton-on-Sea, near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.<\/p>\n

He had just returned to England after visiting his parents at their Portuguese home and had spoken to them on the phone just minutes before he collapsed.<\/p>\n

His mother June said: ‘We spoke to him on the phone when he was playing on the Wii machine.<\/p>\n
