8. Farmville and an obsessive personality: a deadly combination

Farmville

A Facebook nightmare

Remember when Farmville was all the rage on Facebook?

Well, one person certainly does. Leave it to a mother from Jacksonville, Florida, to prove that even something as harmless as a farm simulation browser game can lead to horror.

22-year-old Alexandra Tobias was fixated on Farmville. One day, she was playing the game when her baby, Dylan Lee, interrupted her with his nonstop crying. In anger, she grabbed the child and shook him so hard that he died.

She is now facing 25 to 50 years in jail. Few deaths related to gaming are this abominable.
