Man dies from DVT after gaming in lockdown

[Still Waters]

The father of a healthy young man who died from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after spending the coronavirus lockdown playing computer games has warned of the dangers caused by inactivity.

Louis O'Neill, 24, from Hertfordshire, was furloughed from his job as a football coach at Center Parcs when the UK COVID-19 lockdown was imposed in March.

He joined friends gaming online in order to pass the time. But after complaining about feeling unwell, O'Neill died on 3 June after forming a blood clot in his leg.

His father, Stanley O'Neill, is now warning other families about the dangers of young people developing DVT.

I'm thinking some already existing condition was aggravated by inactivity.

After sitting for a long period without movement sadly that will happen. Even for me sitting for a half an hour I have to get up and move because my legs go numb and other times they gave out and I fell from my chair.
