Hsueh Jun-Chen, A 22-year-old Taiwanese student, has angrily poured
petrol all over his body before burning himself to death after his
father asked him to stop playing video game and go to bed.
The TV game addict was reportedly in his room playing Winning Eleven
Soccer game at his family home in Fenyuan town, western Taiwan, when
father, Liu, told him to go to sleep.
The father thought that was the end of the matter until he could not
find his son the following day.He went outside to look for him and found
the undergraduate's charred remains about 300 meters away from the
house.
A devastated Liu told Daily Mail that he had only asked his son to stop gaming because of his academics.
"I had simply said that he should sleep rather than play because
university was starting again after the holidays. He said he would and
that's the last time I saw him alive. When I saw that he wasn't in his
room the next day, I went into the garage to see if he had gone out on
his motorbike. The bike was still there but I noticed that two cans of
petrol were missing. That made me feel worried and I began to fear the
worst."
Police believe that academic pressures and worries about getting a job
after graduation may have contributed to his decision to commit suicide.
