EverQuest kills 3-year-old. Can blogging be far behind?
Cadenhead reports the online game EverQuest led a girl to her death.
EverQuest is an addictive and time-consuming game that has attracted thousands of players who devote 10-20 hours a week or more to the game -- hence the nickname "EverCrack." Support groups have started on the Web for the families of players, such as the Spouses Against EverQuest mailing list.
One of the members of that list is Christina Cordell, a woman who faces a felony charge of manslaughter related to the Aug. 8 death of her 3-year-old daughter. Brianna Cordell became trapped in the family car and died of heat-related injuries, allegedly while her mother and a live-in boyfriend were engaged in a multi-hour session of EverQuest.
