Intracerebral hemorrhage is a life-threatening type of stroke caused by bleeding within the brain tissue.
"It seems the stroke occurred because the victim was over-excited while playing online game PUBG. The post-mortem report has stated intracerebral bleeding with brain tissue necrosis as the cause of death," he added.
Notably, even though Memane suffered a brain stroke while playing the game, it hasn't been proved if the game caused the same.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is an online multiplayer game created by a South Korean company and experts have claimed it adversely affects the behaviour of those addicted to it.
