“Avatar” triggers the death of a Taiwan man

Beyond its success with a detail rich 3D animation, “Avatar” was reportedly is the cause of a Taiwan man’s death. Kuo, 42 years old, was taken immediately into Nan Men General Hospital and a scan showed that his brain was hemorrhaging which most probably was elicited by over-excitement from watching the chartbuster “Avatar” in 3D. “It’s likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms,” Peng Chin-chih, an emergency doctor said on Tuesday (January 19).

After struggling with the hemorrhagic brain stroke for 11 days, Kuo died and Chinese newspaper said that the death was closely linked with watching James Cameron’s best-selling movie, “Avatar”. Film blogging pages have reported objections of headache, dizziness, vomiting and blurry eyesight from viewers of “Avatar” and further movies loaded in 3D images.
