A football fan in China has died of a stroke that doctors believe was brought on by him staying awake for three successive nights to watch the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Zhou Meng, a 39-year-old from Shanghai, collapsed on his sofa after suffering a stroke while watching the Saturday night match between Uruguay and Costa Rica.<\/p>\n

He had previously stayed up for the whole of Thursday and Friday night to watch live coverage of the tournament – which is being held in Brazil – while working during the daytime.<\/p>\n

He was rushed to the Shanghai No. 10 People’s Hospital after suffering a stroke and was pronounced dead several hours later.<\/p>\n

According to Gao Liang, director of the hospital’s neurosurgery department, the patient had a history of high blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Mr Gao said people with high blood pressure and heart conditions are more vulnerable to brain haemorrhages when events make them excited or emotional.<\/p>\n
