Police are investigating the death of a US man who died during the final stretch of a 24-hour video game session he was streaming online to raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Brian Vigneault, 35, from Virginia, was reportedly about 22 hours into playing World of Tanks on Twitch.tv when he stood up from his computer early on Sunday to take a smoking break and never returned.
