I bet theres a whole lot more to this death than whats been written

Sounds like hypertrophic (familial) cardiomyopathy. For someone that young to die of "exhaustion" is almost certainly due to an underlying condition.

It could be, as the article talks about his parents "sicknesses" but it says nothing of him complaining of chest pain or anything of the sort. Also, he was taking a shower which is pretty benign. Most people who suddenly die are under some sort of physical stress (exercise, etc.).

It really could be anything. Maybe his chicken feet were tainted.

Poor guy but yeah he probably had underlying conditions or maybe food/water diet issues or the heat..60 hour workweeks are pretty common

[E90SLAM]

Sad thing is, he was not the first one who died in Foxconn (many other was suicide), and he will not be the last one.

We want reasonable priced items, get them made in China. That's the sad truth.

Yeah, I was just going with what's most common - who knows, maybe something was lost in translation.

And would you really have any chest pain w/ HCM? I was under the impression that sudden death with cardiomyopathy is due to V-fib, not a massive MI.

You're right about the exercise part though

The random death during exercise is usually due to vfib but from what I've heard its usually discovered due to some sort of chest pain/arrhythmia if the patient doesnt die first.

Interesting, I'll have to look this up.

Am i the only person read the whole article?

"After having his meal, he went out with his girlfriend for some fun at the Internet bar, until 11pm."

So he "supposed to be super tired/exhausted" went out with his gf to some bar and didn't get home til 11pm that night, then died the next day. Doesn't sound like died of exhaustion. He could have got food poisoning. Food poisoning is super common in China.

Sudden death from food poisoning? Possible but fairly unlikely.

Weak sauce.
I've worked plenty of 80+ hours week.
My most was 93 hours a week, now that was real tough.
But 60 hours?? ha... funny stuff.

Dang...being an architect is not easy.
